A 70-year old Indian woman named Omkari Panwar recently gave birth to twins.
Yes. She’s SEVENTY!
This feat makes her the oldest woman to give birth in the world.
She didn’t get pregnant the good ole fashioned way, of course.
Panwar, the mother of 2 adult daughters, conceived via in vitro fertilization treatment.
She and her husband were desperate to produce a male heir.
Her husband, a retired farmer, sold his buffalos, mortgaged his land, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan to pay for the treatment.
Looks like it all paid off.
One of the twins is a boy.
The old dog dad said, “The treatment cost me a fortune but the birth of a son makes it all worthwhile. I can die a happy man and a proud father.”
It’s sad that in certain places a girl can’t be an heiress!
