A 66-year-old woman in Germany has given birth to her 10th child.
Alexandra Hildebrandt, owner of the Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, welcomed her new son, Philipp, on March 19, according to today.com and other outlets.
The mom had her first child back in 1977, followed by eight children after she turned 50 — who were all born via C-section.

In an interview with the German newspaper Bild, Hildebrandt shared her happiness in welcoming another child, noting that she feels “like I’m 35.”
“We should encourage people to have more children!”
Professor Wolfgang Henrich, director of the Clinic for Obstetric Medicine at the Berlin Charite where Hildebrandt was treated, told Bild that her age and number of C-sections is an “absolute rarity in obstetric medicine and represented a challenge.”
