101-Year-Old Woman Gives Birth – Satirical Origin

In January 2016, World News Daily Report website worldnewsdailyreport.com published a related article. Carrying a title “101-Year-Old Woman Gives Birth After Successful Ovary Transplant,” the article said the Italian woman Anatolia Vertadella gave birth to a 9-pound baby after a controversial ovary transplant. It also mentioned the birth of her 17th child was criticized by medical professionals because of the overage factor.

Despite the claims, we did not find any credible reports about Anatolia Vertadella, a 101-year-old woman giving birth to her 17th child. World News Daily Report is in fact a well-known fake-news publisher using satirical and fictional content. Earlier in January 2014, the website published a similar hoax story saying USA mother gives birth to 17 Babies at once.

So, the claims about a 101 year old woman giving birth to her 17th baby are just hoaxes. Nonetheless, false stories from the old satirical/fictional article keep surfacing again with similar ‘shocking’ claims.

Hoax or Fact:

Hoax.
