55 Year old Woman gives birth to hew own grandchildren (triplets)
http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/12/29/grandmother.birth.ap/index.html
"RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) -- A 55-year-old woman who gave birth to triplets for a daughter who was medically unable to conceive said Wednesday she was "a caring incubator" and was awe-struck when she learned she was carrying three children.

Tina Cade delivered her own grandchildren -- two boys and a girl -- by Caesarean section Tuesday at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital. She served as a surrogate for her oldest daughter, Camille Hammond, and Hammond's husband, Jason.

She told NBC's "Today" that she was "awe-struck -- I could not believe it" when the doctor told her there would be triplets.

Hammond, 29, suffers from endometriosis, a condition that affects the lining of the uterus and makes it difficult to become pregnant. She and her husband, both resident physicians at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, tried for four years to conceive."
