This Woman Gives Birth at 60 Years Old and Makes a Huge Lifestyle Change For Her Family

Most older women usually enjoy their life free from responsibilities and obligations. But Lauren Cohen wanted something a little different. At 60, she decided to go against the grain and get pregnant—with twins.

Lauren Cohen leads a physically active and healthy life. Though she was already in her late 50s, she still attended dance classes regularly. She loved moving her body, and Lauren believed that the secret to a long and happy life was enjoying every moment.

Since Lauren had just recently gone through a divorce, she was not particularly looking for a romantic relationship. But that mentality can often be the most fertile when starting a new relationship. Besides, there was something about Frank she just couldn’t shake off.

In an interview, Lauren explained that when she saw Frank across the dancefloor that night, she discovered he was a good dancer and wasn’t afraid to show off his moves a little, too. Impressed, she decided to ask him to dance with her.

As Lauren and Frank continued to spend time together, they were slowly and surely getting attracted to each other. It seemed that for this couple, age was not an issue at all. Frank did not mind that he was twenty years younger than Lauren.

Lauren and Frank had fallen head over heels in love. They got married, and all they cared about was each other. They had no qualms about what other people thought of their relationship. They didn’t mind the looks people gave them whenever they were seen together in public.

Early on in their relationship, Lauren knew that Frank wanted to have a family. At the back of Lauren’s mind, she was not sure if she was capable of giving Frank what he wanted, given her advanced age. 

Lauren couldn’t help but express her own fears about her relationship with Frank. In an interview, she described how she felt scared thinking of the possibility that Frank might have to end up taking care of an 80-year-old woman later in life. She wanted him to have something to look forward to in life.

Lauren cared too much for Frank not to seriously consider the future. She didn’t want him to end up being too old to begin a relationship with someone else. She also didn’t want him to not have children. He deserved to experience everything life could offer.

Lauren and Frank were adamant about starting a family of their own. The couple decided to look into in vitro fertilization (IVF). They believed they could have children based on their research. However, all the doctors they went to turned them away.

Lauren could not help but feel depressed after being turned away by the medical doctors they trusted. This heartbreaking rejection also meant they would be denied the family and a future filled with happiness that they so longed for. 

Despite the major obstacles Lauren faced, she didn’t let them stop her. She stated in an interview that she was 100% determined to have a proper family with the love of her life. In her mind, Frank deserved nothing less. However, the rejections proved overwhelming.

As fate would have it, Lauren and Frank found a clinic in Virginia that accepted them despite their unique condition. The clinic gave them the go-ahead for the IVF procedure. However, there were some complications that the couple experienced during the process.

Though the clinic in Virginia was willing to help them, they still required Lauren to undergo a series of tests to determine her capability for IVF. Lauren described the number of tests she had to undergo with a look of pain.

Since Lauren had already gone through menopause, she had to use egg donors for the IVF procedure. The process involved implanting embryos using the eggs provided by others. Lauren explained that a total of three were implanted on each attempt. 

The clinic attempted IVF on Lauren four times. After the fourth attempt, they gave up. They concluded that their procedure was not at all working. Fortunately, another clinic entered the picture and gave Lauren and Frank another shot at parenthood.

Lauren explained in an interview how the scene played out when they received the joyous news from their doctors. Clearly, it was something the couple did not expect, but it meant the world to them. They could finally start the family of their dreams!

A year after Lauren gave birth to their first daughter, she became pregnant once again. But this time, it was different. They wouldn’t just have one new mouth to feed—The couple could not believe it, but they were expecting twins!

It was not easy for Lauren to carry and give birth to twins. But at 60 years old, giving birth to two healthy infants is amazing by any standard. Lauren did what nobody could have believed possible when she delivered twins Gregory and Giselle.

Lauren’s priority was to constantly maintain good health. She wanted to see her kids grow up. Doing so required that she be well while her children were growing. Lauren wanted to push the envelope further as she set a brand new objective—she would witness her kids go off to college.

By the time Lauren’s children would get to college, math dictates that she would already be 80 years old. This simply meant that Lauren would have to keep her body in excellent condition until then and beyond.

In an interview, Lauren expressed the effort she was making in order to live a long and healthy life. It was a goal that everyone should aspire to—but Lauren was doing it not just for herself but for her kids.

A few of the medications Lauren regularly took included vitamin D3. This supplement aids in the prevention of cancer. She also made sure to take various antioxidants such as resveratrol and curcumin. Plus, she needed to keep her entire nervous system healthy. Therefore, she also regularly takes vitamin E.

As a new mother, Lauren always looked for ways to keep her health in shape. With this in mind, she decided to sign up as a member of Life Extension. Its goal was to help members achieve health and longevity using all available medical and technological techniques.

Besides the more-than 90 pills Lauren was taking, she makes sure she is also keeping physically active. Other than dance classes, she was also involved in Pilates, exercises, fitness classes, and yoga.

Though it was Lauren’s dream to give her beloved Frank the children he wanted, the process was not at all easy. Being a mom at 60 was not originally in her plans. However, she was more than willing to do the impossible, including being a mother all over again. 

Lauren apparently has an eldest daughter named Renee. She did not want to be associated with her mom. At 34 years old, Renee disliked her mother’s choices and vehemently expressed her disapproval of her recent life decisions. Renee’s anger was so intense she actually disowned her own mom.

Though Lauren lost the relationship she had with her oldest daughter and, ultimately, her granddaughter, she did gain another family and children with Frank. Despite being estranged from Renee, Lauren felt she made the proper choice of having a new family late in life.

In the end, Renee and Lauren were able to restore their relationship slowly but surely. They eventually began meeting regularly again, along with Renee’s daughter, who Lauren was able to meet, if only for a short time.

Lauren highlighted during an interview that she was more than willing to do what was necessary to live as long as possible. Where possible, she makes sure that she is eating the right food, exercising within her limits, and taking the proper supplements.

Lauren only wanted to deliver a loving family that she could leave behind for her husband, Frank. Her goal was to make his life and the lives of their children as happy as possible and to spend her own time with the people she loves.
