Sometimes it takes years for couples to conceive. Most women reach their menopause by the age of 45-55, so if a couple is childless till then, they usually adopt or stop trying altogether. A woman¡¯s body also becomes too frail to carry a child after that, that is majorly the reason there are usually complications in pregnancy as women grow older.?
However, a 74-year-old woman from Andhra Pradesh's Guntur town set a world record by delivering twins at a hospital.?
Even after 57 years of marriage, Mangayamma was childless. She married her husband, Yerramatti Raja Rao in 1962 and the couple lives in Nelapartipadu in East Godavari district.
They saw that a woman who lives near their place recently got pregnant at 55 via IVF process. Inspired and hopeful, the couple visited the IVF experts at a nursing home late last year.?
Husband¡¯s sperm was collected and tested for the IVF process. The doctors were successful and Mangayamma conceived twins. Since then, the doctors kept a close watch on the to-be mother¡¯s condition. The couple even received a felicitation, arranged by the nursing home before the delivery.?
Four doctors performed the caesarean operation and the couple was blessed with twin girls. The couple set a world record by conceiving and delivering at their age.?
