An Indian woman claims to have had her first child at the age of 70, making her one of the oldest first-time mothers in the world.
Jivunben Rabari and her husband Maldhari, 75, proudly showed off their son - whose name they have not revealed - to reporters as they said he had been conceived through IVF.
Rabari has said she does not have ID to prove her age, but told reporters it was 70, which would make her one of the oldest first mothers in the world. However, another Indian woman, Erramatti Mangayamma, is believed to be the oldest after having twin girls in September 2019 at the age of 74.
Rabari and Maldhari, from a small village called Mora in Gujurat, India, have been married for 45 years and have been trying unsuccessfully for a baby for decades.
They were able to have a child through IVF, which can be effective after menopause.
The couple's doctor Naresh Bhanushali said it was 'one of the rarest cases I have ever seen'.
Dr Bhanushali said: 'When they first came to us, we told them that they couldn't have a child at such an old age, but they insisted.
'They said that many of their family members did it as well. This is one of the rarest cases I have ever seen.'
The chances of a woman in her 70s getting pregnant naturally are virtually zero due to most women going through the menopause between their late 40s and early 50s.
But the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) claims that any woman of any age can get pregnant with medical help provided that she has a 'normal uterus', even if she no longer has ovaries.

Maybe her husband’s, maybe not.
I wonder who paid for it all.
:-)
Then there was Abraham.
They look older than 70 and 75.
A miracle, indeed!
Beautiful comment. Thank you❣
I thought it was a natural conception but turns out to be fake. What a selfish buncha people. Kid at 15 will have to deal with parents who have parkinsons or alzheimer. Sick sick people.
She can’t even hold the child correctly. Does she even have the strength to hold him?
I worked with a great guy whose father was around 70 when he was born. He really resented never having a “real” dad to play sports with, horse around with, go bike riding — all the normal “dad” stuff.
Horrors, but her choice. Bless them all.
Pretty sure John the Baptist wasn’t conceived in a test tube.
The headline is misleading because they make it sound like she conceived naturally.
Par for the course from the MSM.
Probably an orphaned baby or another family members.
India puts out so much fake crap it’s not funny.....this is just another.
That’s not their kid....but somebody’s making some money selling this crap.
You are welcome. Thank you.
ah ok thanks!
No, it’s not just you.
