On October 25, 2019, Huang Weiping, 68, of Zaozhuang, Shandong Province, became a father for the third time.
His wife Tian Xinju gave birth to a baby girl at the age of 67, and is considered "the oldest naturally conceived mother in China".
Nearly 70 years old, but ushered in this small "accident", Huang Weiping and Tian Xinju believed that this was a gift from heaven, so they named their daughter "Heavenly Gift".
But in the early stages of pregnancy, in order to keep this child, the couple and a pair of children over 40 years old almost broke off the relationship, Huang Weiping directly said: "Without their consent, our own children, we must raise our own!"
How did Tian Xinju conceive this child? What is the story of this? How are they living with their children now?

Physical examination becomes a pregnancy test
When it comes to pregnancy, the old couple said it was a complete accident.
The two never planned to have a child, and when they went to the hospital for examination when they were unwell, they found out that they were actually pregnant.
"If you want to have children, you will already want them, and you don't have to wait until you are now so old to ask for them, it is purely accidental."
In 2018, Tian Xinju unfortunately suffered from a cerebral infarction.
During the treatment, the hospital prescribed some drugs to activate blood and dissolve stasis, and after Tian Xinju took the medication, he found that the menstrual leave that had been suspended for a long time had come again, and he had come every month since then.
This anomalous phenomenon worried her, and she went to the hospital for a test, but the doctor told her that everything was normal.
When I went to check again in January 2019, the doctor said she was pregnant!
"I'm so old, how can it be?"
Tian Xinju was somewhat unconvinced, thinking that the doctor's diagnosis was wrong, and as a result, she went to check more than 2 months later, and the doctor said that she was indeed pregnant, and the fetus was 4 months old.
Tian Xinju and Huang Weiping have a daughter and a son, when they were pregnant, Tian Xinju had some pregnancy reactions, but this fetus did not react at all, so smooth that she thought it was an illusion.
If the child is still young, the couple will certainly not want it, but the 4-month fetus, on the B ultrasound shows that it already has a shape, really do not want it, the two can't bear it.
And such a large month, the child can only induce labor, can not abort.
Tian Xinju used to be a child care doctor at Zaozhuang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and she had seen the process of induction of labor, and that picture she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Let her kill a child, she really can't do it.
The old couple discussed it, first go to the pregnancy test, if there is a problem with the fetus, induce labor; if it is healthy, then try to give birth.
The results came out quickly, the fetus was healthy, and the test results were good.
Moreover, Tian Xinju has not had any adverse reactions since she became pregnant, and other indicators of her body are normal.
Both were surprised and decided that the child was a gift from Heaven, so they decided to give birth to the child despite the doctor's objections.
Such a decision is undoubtedly very risky, pregnant women over the age of 35 who have given birth are already advanced pregnant women, and Tian Xinju is already 67 years old, and continuing to get pregnant may bring unimaginable dangers to her body.
But the couple was determined and insisted on keeping the child.
But this kind of thing is not acceptable to everyone, especially their sons and daughters, who are over 40 years old.
"Either induce labor or break off the mother-daughter relationship!"
The old couple had previously raised a pair of children, and they were both married and had children.
When Tian Xinju was pregnant, the youngest granddaughter was 14 years old and was in junior high school, and the eldest granddaughter was already 18 years old.
The two originally agreed that no one should tell, even the son just thought that the mother had gained weight and did not pay attention to it, until the child was born and was reported by the major media, only to know that his parents had added a sister to him.
But Tian Xinju and her daughter were intimate, and it didn't take long to tell her daughter, but she didn't expect that her daughter couldn't accept it at all.
"Firmly opposed, if born to sever ties!"
The daughter could not accept such an "unusual" thing, and was also very worried about the mother's body, and tried her best to persuade the old couple to give up the child, and even did not hesitate to "threaten" by severing the mother-daughter relationship.
But the two insisted on going their own way and were determined to have children, so the daughter never came to the house again, and when the child was born, she did not appear in the hospital.
Huang Weiping can also understand his daughter's thoughts, but he said: "Without their consent, our children, we raise ourselves." ”
Huang Weiping became a lawyer after leaving the unit a few years ago, and now he is about to have a daughter, and he is often busy while working and taking care of his pregnant wife.
Tian Xinju is a pediatrician at Zaozhuang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and after retirement, she was rehired for 10 years, and just officially retired two years ago.
The economic conditions of the two are not bad, the pension together is more than 10,000 yuan, they said that they will not drag down their children, but rely on their own efforts to give the unborn children a good educational environment.
When she was 36 weeks pregnant, considering Tian Xinju's age and physical condition, the doctor decided to give her a caesarean section in advance.
Wang Xietong, president of shandong provincial maternal and child health hospital, personally operated the operation, completed the operation in only half an hour, and successfully delivered a baby girl weighing 2560 grams, and the mother and daughter were safe.
After his wife was pushed into the operating room, Huang Weiping kept wandering in the doorway, with a thin layer of sweat on the door of his head, the joy of being a father, and the worry about his lover's body.
Fortunately, he did not wait too long, and when he saw the little baby tightly wrapped in red veil, Huang Weiping was so excited that his hands were shaking.
Tian Xinju was soon transferred from the ICU to the general ward, but the child was still observed in the neonatal intensive care unit because of premature birth.
Looking at her daughter who slept sweetly with a small pink fist, the old couple felt very happy: "We named her Heavenly Gift, which means that God gave us a gift, and I hope that she will like this name in the future." ”
The news of "heavenly birth, mother and daughter safety" immediately spread throughout the Internet, bringing great pressure to the couple.
Some people support their approach, some people worry about the future life of their children, and many people wonder why Tian Xinju can become pregnant at the age of 67.
Unexplained miracles
Since the birth of The Gift, many couples who have been plagued by infertility for many years have found the old couple and want to ask for "secrets".
But the couple could not say why: "We are not deliberately preparing for pregnancy, and there is no secret recipe." ”
Huang Weiping told the people who came to "seek advice" that they should still believe in science, go to the medical department, go to the infertility center to do examinations, and use scientific methods to solve it.
Tian Xinju stressed that the love of husband and wife is the first.
Tian Xinju met Huang Weiping at the age of 19, and the two were free love, which was a very "deviant" thing in that era.
At that time, she was still studying at the health school, and Huang Weiping was already working in the government unit, riding a bicycle to pick her up every day in the envious eyes of others.
In order to be with Tian Xinju, Huang Weiping also gave up the opportunity to be promoted, but he never regretted it.
In 1977, the two entered the palace of marriage.
For 42 years, the two are as sweet as the original love, Huang Weiping takes care of her meticulously, the housework is also all-inclusive, in addition to drinking some wine, spending money, is an impeccable good husband, neighbors and friends praise him as a "good man who takes care of the family".
After entering middle age, the couple attaches great importance to health, usually never eat chicken essence, monosodium glutamate and other condiments, Huang Weiping also never smokes, at most drink a little wine, the body has been very good.
After retirement, Huang Weiping will take his wife with him wherever he goes, as if he is back to the way he was when he first fell in love, Tian Xinju's face is full of smiles: "Plus his physical condition is not bad, everything will go smoothly." ”
But the two mentioned that in 2015, Tian Xinju got angry during an argument with Huang Weiping, and the next day he was dizzy and his blood pressure also rose.
The two went to the hospital to see, and the Chinese medicine doctor told Tian Xinju that it was qi foot and blood stasis, and prescribed some Chinese medicine to give her good conditioning.
After drinking for a while, Tian Xinju felt that her body was much better and her appearance was good, and people who saw her said that her face was rosy.
Later, in the treatment of cerebral infarction in 2018, with the use of blood-activating and stasis drugs, there was a menstrual holiday, and being able to get pregnant may be related to these experiences.
Zou Liying, an obstetrician at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, said that menstruation after menopause needs to be achieved through hormone replacement therapy, and drugs that activate blood and reduce stasis cannot achieve this effect.
The director of the obstetrics department of a third-class hospital in Beijing said, "This is not a problem that can be solved by taking some medicine, if she eats some blood-activating and stasis medicine, she can get pregnant, which is the discovery of the Nobel Prize level." ”
Experts were also surprised by Tian Xinju's natural conception, but pointed out that this is only an individual difference, believing that the latest childbearing age should not exceed 45 years old, otherwise it is not very good for both mothers and children.
The outside world's exclamations, questions, blessings, ridicule and other voices are endless, but the mentality of the old couple is very optimistic.
They just want to raise the gift of heaven and escort her growth.
Huang Weiping said: "This child was given to me by God, I want to raise her well, what others say, let them go." ”
Raise gifts alone and don't cause trouble for your children
After the birth of his daughter, Huang Weiping hired a sister-in-law, and after the child was full moon, the two began to raise the child on their own.
Tian Xinju often hurt his knees because of the pain in holding the child, and he was injured in childbirth, so the burden of caring for the child fell on Huang Weiping's body.
Huang Weiping took care of his daughter while cooking for his wife, and the housework did not fall, everything was done handily.
Tianci is more obedient, the old two are not difficult to take care of, because they have raised two children, more experienced, the little Tianzi grows up day by day, very healthy.
The pension of the two people adds up to more than 10,000 yuan per month, and Huang Weiping, who works as a lawyer, usually takes on cases, and the economic pressure is not large.
And there are many well-meaning people who care about Xiao Tianqi, will send some diapers and milk powder from time to time, and a company promises to take on all the diapers of Xiao Tianqi, which greatly relieves the pressure on the couple.
The couple also fulfilled their original promise, and in the process of raising The Gift, they did not bother the other two children.
And a pair of children also slowly accepted this new sister, especially the daughter, when holding this little sister, the face was full of love.
Slowly, the children were willing to come back to visit the old couple and offered to help the two with their children, but Tian Xinju and Huang Weiping refused.
They know that their children are busy at work, and as long as they can take care of them for a day, they will not trouble their children.
The granddaughters of the old couple were surprised to learn that there was an aunt younger than them, and the granddaughter Xuanxuan (pseudonym) visited the hospital once when Tianzi was just born.
I wanted to see the "little aunt", but Tianqi was still in the custody room and could not do so.
Compared with the indifference and entanglement of her parents at that time, Xuanxuan calmly accepted this fact: "There is nothing happy or unhappy, just feel OK, my grandmother's child, I have to call her little aunt." ”
The old couple also recognized 4 dry daughters and 2 dry sons, and would visit them every New Year's Festival, and also took more care of Xiao Tianqi on weekdays.
One of the god-given dry sisters
The couple also opened a number on the social platform to share the happy daily life of their little daughter, and they were very happy every day.
But after all, they were all old, and by the time Tianzi came of age, they were nearly ninety years old, and many things had to be planned early.
Arrange the future for God
In the early stages of pregnancy, Tian Xinju and Huang Weiping consulted various materials, among which the harm of giving birth at an advanced age was the most understood.
Most of the children of elderly mothers will have congenital deficiencies, and although the results of the daughter's physical examination are still good, the two still dare not take it lightly.
When Tianci was born, Huang Weiping stored umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for her: "I have learned some situations and know that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have a good effect on the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, degenerative arthropathy and so on." ”
Couples pay more attention to exercise and health, in their hometown, the elderly can live to 90 years old and live is not a new thing.
They also want to live to the age of 90, to be able to watch the gods come of age, and if they can still start a family, it is better, so that the old couple will be relieved.
On the seventh day of Tianci's birth, Huang Weiping registered his daughter
Tian Xinju also plans to teach Tianci to cook after she is 8 years old, at least to be able to live on her own.
The two also bought insurance for Tianzi and made some savings. Tian Xinju even considered that in case one of her and her husband died first, then she would find a good family with no children and no daughters for Tianzi to adopt, so as to ensure that she could live well in the second half of her life.
There are rumors about the distribution of property, and huang Weiping and Tian Xinju both said that they would never be biased after a hundred years.
"Every child is the flesh of the mother's body!"
Before they die, the couple will make a will, arrange all the problems, and there will never be the slightest eccentricity.
Now that Xiao Tianci is more than 2 years old, the whole family likes this little girl very much and gets along very well with each other.
However, Tian Xinju's practice of giving birth at an advanced age is still very dangerous and not worth advocating.
Although her mother and daughter were safe in the end, it was only an isolated case, not everyone could do it, I hope that everyone can give birth at the right age, and do not risk their own physical health and the safety of the lives of mother and son.
Now no matter what, Tianqi has come to this beautiful world, because of the particularity of the family, her future may be full of unknown difficulties and challenges.
I only hope that the outside world can have more love for Xiao Tianzi and less controversy, so that this miracle full of accidents can have a happy ending.
