A shocking and inspiring news has come out from Kutch district of Gujarat. 70-year-old Jivuben Rabri has given birth to a healthy son after 45 years of marriage. Not only this, her 75-year-old husband Maldhari is also very happy about this and both the couple remain a topic of discussion in the entire area.
Both mother and child are healthy and there is a celebratory atmosphere in the family.
Happiness gained through IVF technology
The couple are residents of Mora village in Kutch. After not having children for many years, she resorted to IVF technique and finally at the age of 70, Jeevuben gave birth to a son. Both of them proudly showed their son during the press conference.
Doctors had expressed concern, still did not give up hope
Jeevuben and Maldhari were married 45 years ago. During this period, he underwent treatment several times, but was not successful. Doctors had also warned about serious risks during pregnancy and delivery due to old age, but the couple’s faith did not break. He accomplished this difficult dream by trusting both God and science.
Is Jeevuben the world’s oldest mother?
Although Jivuben claims that she is the oldest mother in the world to give birth to a child, this has not been officially confirmed. In 2009, Elizabeth Adeney of UK made the record of the oldest mother by giving birth to a child through IVF. Women over the age of 50 were not allowed to undergo IVF in the UK, so she had to go to Ukraine for it.
