A new record set: a resident of India, in her 65 years, has become the oldest mother in the world

The world record for the largest age of laboring women is broken. The oldest mother in the world has become 65 year old Indian resident. The 80-year-old man became the father of the baby.

Prior to this incident, all record breakers were pregnant by in vitro fertilization, and gave birth by caesarean section. But a resident of India got pregnant in a completely natural way, independently, and she gave birth to her child.

Childbirth became her second in a row. 8 years ago, at the age of 57, she gave birth to her first child.

Specialists of the medical center, where the childbirth took place, claim that everything went the best way, and the mother and the child feel great. Both are completely healthy and in a couple of days will be discharged from the hospital home.

Dr. Shabir Sidik, who was giving birth, stated that This case is the rarest in the world medical practice.. The average age of menopause is 47 years, and it is usually rare for people to maintain reproductive health up to 65, especially to give birth at this age on their own.

This case, according to doctors, should force WHO to revise the criteria for the age of women in labor. Today, women of 36 years and older are considered homogeneous.

The happy mother in the ranking of the most elderly mothers moved her predecessor, who until this day was considered the most-most - in 2016 another Indian woman aged 72 gave birth to a healthy little boy, but in that case, assisted reproductive technologies were used - IVF, and therefore now will not be considered a record.

Up to 72-year-old mommy on the podium of the championship was Spaniard Maria del Carmen Busada de Lara, who, through IVF, gave birth to twins at 66 years old. But a year after giving birth, she died of cancer.

The newly-born 80-year-old father and husband of the new record holder immediately announced a fundraiser for the maintenance of the baby - the family lives rather poorly. And hundreds of well-wishers have already responded to his call - the family was presented with a new stroller, a crib for the child, a supply of infant formula, toys.

The family has already received invitations to various TV shows, and the 80-year-old dad preferred to ask for fees in advance.

There were, however, those who did not support such reproductive experiments — parents, at such an advanced age, would find it difficult to raise a child, to give him everything he needed, unless, of course, the couple decided to set another record — in life expectancy.
