Obstetrics experts are urging women who want to become mothers again at an advanced age to think twice, after news of a 61-year-old woman giving birth went viral online this week.

The mother, surnamed Zhang, gave birth to a boy through a C-section at a hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, on June 27, two years after her 30-year-old daughter, her only child at the time, died of illness.

She was discharged from the Women's Hospital Affiliated With the School of Medicine of Zhejiang University on Tuesday, and both mother and son were in good condition, said Sun Meiyan, a hospital spokeswoman.
