Indian Woman Has Her First Child At AGE SEVENTY

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'.
