Former Miss World Diana Hayden has&nbsp;given birth to a baby girl born out of an egg the 42-year-old&nbsp;star froze eight years ago at a Mumbai hospital this month.&nbsp;
Paediatrician Dr Bhupendra Avasthi of Surya Hospital&nbsp;in suburban Santacruz said that both mother and the baby were&nbsp;doing fine and were accompanied by Collin Dick, Hayden's&nbsp;husband.

Normally the average weight and length of a new born&nbsp;in India is 2.6 kgs and 48 cms, but Hayden's daughter weighed&nbsp;3.7 kgs and was 55 cms at the time of birth, Avasthi said.&nbsp;
Arya Hayden's birth on January 9 through the egg freezing&nbsp;method just may pave the way for women who are willing to go&nbsp;for motherhood in their late 30s or early 40s, the doctors&nbsp;said.
Gynaecologist Nandita Palshetkar, who froze Diana's egg&nbsp;eight years ago in her clinic facility, claimed it is for the&nbsp;first time that a delivery through egg freezing method has&nbsp;taken place at the age of 42, which is normally recommendable&nbsp;at the age upto 35.
"It was a concept being adopted very rarely by working&nbsp;or professional women who do not want to be mother at the age&nbsp;of 30 or something. But delivering a baby at 42 (years of age)&nbsp;is something amazing and we feel extremely excited,"&nbsp;Palshetkar told PTI.
Explaining the technology of egg freezing, Palshetkar&nbsp;said she along with her partner, Dr Hrishikesh Pai brought&nbsp;this technology to India and it is called vitrification&nbsp;technology. Using the technology, they froze 16 eggs of Hayden&nbsp;between October 2007 and March 2008.&nbsp;
Birth of Hayden's daughter would be a big boost to&nbsp;working women that egg freezing really works and could be of&nbsp;help to them, especially to Indian women who often juggle&nbsp;between career and the ticking biological clock, she said.
