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.

For those who talk about Sarai in the bible and so on: IVF and a lot of fertility procedures - almost all of them - involve consent to abortion “if and when it becomes necessary.” Now I doubt this story, but just say the gal did conceive by IVF. With this, multiple embryos are created. Typically, later on the doctor does studies and if there are “too many” implanted embryos, or if the mom only wants one baby, they selectively abort the others. No! Really!

I don’t know about your state, but they are really pimping “fertility treatment” here in CO and I applied to work at a clinic some while ago because business is booming, no pun intended. (Well, maybe a little.) Old gals wanting to have kids. Haha, sure, why not? Anybody got $45,000 - $65,000?

So then someone said “Yeah you have to be okay with abortion” - it was after I applied and I don’t remember being asked at the initial job interview. I didn’t get the job so I didn’t have any sort of ethical struggle. Glad someone told me about it.

Yeah, doubt that Nob is just totally down with all that. If he is, he sure has changed a lot.
