A 52-year-old woman gave birth to her own twin grandchildren after serving as a surrogate mother for her daughter and son-in-law.

Crystal Sirignano delivered the babies, a boy and a girl on Wednesday at an Arizona hospital, the family said.

"I just feel so blessed and fortunate. It's the best experience of my life," said Sirignano.

The healthy babies were delivered by Caesarean section; Domenic weighed 3 kilograms, and his sister, Mia, weighed 2.4 kilograms.

Sirignano offered to become a surrogate after her daughter, Kendra, went through several failed infertility treatments and surgeries.

"My mom did amazing," said Kendra Sirignano, 30.

Crystal Sirignano, the owner of a fitness centre, had to stop working out after she started carrying the twins. Despite being a vegetarian, she started eating meat. In October, she moved from Michigan to Arizona to live near her daughter.

"I don't regret one second, even the times when I didn't feel good," Crystal Sirignano said. "None of that was as bad as watching what my daughter went through."

Kendra Sirignano and her husband also have a 15-year-old daughter whom they adopted three years ago.
