An Indian woman claims to have given birth to her first child at the age of 70.
Jivunben Rabari is believed to be one of the oldest first-time mothers in the world after she and her husband Maldhari, 75, welcomed their son.
They showed off the child to reporters as they said he had been conceived through IVF.
Rabari has stated that she does not have I.D to prove her age, but that she is 70 years old, making her one of the world's oldest first mothers.
However, Erramatti Mangayamma, an Indian woman, is thought to be the oldest after giving birth to twin girls in September 2019 at the age of 74.
Rabari and Maldhari, who live in the small town of Mora in Gujurat, India, have been married for 45 years and have been trying for a child for decades. They were able to have a kid via IVF, which can be successful even after menopause. It was "one of the rarest situations I have ever seen," according to the couple's doctor, Naresh Bhanushali.
'When they originally came to us, we told them they couldn't have a child at such an old age, but they insisted,' Dr Bhanushali added.
"They claimed that many of their relatives had done the same. This is one of the most unusual cases I've ever encountered."
There have been several instances of women into their 60s and 70s having children through IVF in India.
