The woman received an egg donation in Vietnam. She’s being kept under medical observation and is expected to give birth “imminently”.

The woman, who is married to a man in his 40s, reportedly went to a private Vietnamese clinic willing to overlook the age limit for egg donation and in-vitro fertilization, AFP reports.

According to the newspaper, Vietnam has an age limit of 45 for IVF.

But like the 59-year-old woman, age limits have not stopped other women from seeking IVF overseas.

Earlier this year, a 70-year-old Indian woman gave birth to twins after receiving IVF treatment.

And in May 2007, Frieda Birnbaum, 60, gave birth to twin boys, becoming the oldest woman to give birth to twins in the United States.

While out looking to re-stock my closet I came across the Bellaband.

Even though I had heard some of my friends talk about this ‘must have’ pregnancy product, I hadn’t thought to pick one up for myself.

I recently received a few to try and now I am hooked.

The Bellaband is made of a soft, seamless, lycra material with a wide top hem for extra re-inforcement. The bottom has a double sewn shorter hem to better grip shorts, pants or shirts.

They come in all the basic colors like white, pink, black and beige with the ‘Everyday Lace’ featuring a fancy lace border along the bottom.

I wear my band under loose fitting clothes to give me a bit of extra support. It was also created to support your belly during the final stages of pregnancy and cover unbuttoned pants in the early stages.

New moms who are in the in between stage of clothing also find the Bellaband helps hold up pants that are too loose or pre-pregnancy clothes that can’t yet fasten around their waists.

Even though I have only had my band for less than a week, I can’t imagine wearing clothes without it.

It is perfect for under dresses, over top of low fitting pregnancy pants or even under your pajamas at night.

I highly recommend this product to anyone who is currently expecting.
