A 74-year-old woman gave birth to twins, and may be the oldest woman ever to give birth

A 74-year-old woman from southern India has given birth to her first children, twin girls, Thursday, possibly becoming the oldest woman ever to give birth, local outlets report.

Mangayamma Yaramati opted for in vitro fertilization after years of being unable to conceive, reported the Times of India. She gave birth via cesarean section, and is currently in intensive care "to come out of the stress" of giving birth, doctors said.

"Both mother and the infants are healthy and have no complications whatsoever,” said Dr. Sankayyala Uma Shankar, director of Ahalya Hospital in the city of Guntur, to the Hindustan Times.

Uma Shankar, who is reportedly the doctor who delivered the babies, told the Washington Post that she is 74, according to a provided birth certificate. Other news outlets have reported that she is 73.

"We are the happiest couple on Earth today," said her husband, Sitarama Rajarao, to the Times of India. "We have our own children."

Mangayamma pursued IVF after a neighbor in her 50s became pregnant through the method, said Uma Shankar.

Yaramati said that not having a child was a source of guilt. "People looked at me with accusing eyes as if I had committed a sin," she said to the Times of India.

Her health, said Uma Shankar, was "constantly monitored" by medical experts throughout her pregnancy.

But the pregnancy has raised alarm among local doctors. Buchipudi Samba Siva Reddy, the chair of the local medical council, told the Times of India that the doctors allowing her to carry children to term via IVF is "a debatable issue."

Representatives from Ahalya did not immediately respond to a request for comment from USA TODAY.

A 73-year-old woman in southern India who has given birth to healthy twin girls described motherhood as “the happiest time of my life”.

The babies were delivered through caesarean section on Thursday. Uma Shankar, the woman’s doctor, told the Guardian the mother and her children were in good health.

Mangayamma Yaramati and her husband, Sitarama Rajarao, 82, from Andhra Pradesh, said they had always wanted to become parents but were unable to conceive. Yaramati told BBC Telugu they had been stigmatised in their community because they were childless.

“They would call me a childless lady,” she said, adding: “We tried many times and saw numerous doctors, so this is the happiest time of my life.” Yaramati had a baby shower this week, before the delivery.

Shankar said his patient was cared for “in the scientific way”. “During the treatment we had three groups of doctors: one took care of her general health, one took care of her nutritional status and one to took care of her pregnancy.” These three areas were monitored every day, he added.

Manngayamma started the menopause 25 years ago, and so an egg was taken from a donor and fertilised with Rajarao’s sperm through IVF, Shankar told the Hindustan Times. “Luckily, she conceived in the first cycle and was found to be pregnant in January.”|

The twins’ father told BBC Telugu: “We are incredibly happy.”

Shankar said many of the women who came for IVF had had children but they were killed in road accidents. “They come for IVF at a later age. We have many women from the 40-50 age group.” The social disapproval associated with not having children was a problem, he added.

Manngayamma may be the oldest woman to conceive. Shankar said according to her patient’s birth certificate, she was born in 1946.

In 2016, another Indian woman, Daljinder Kaur, who was thought to have been 72 when she gave birth to a boy.

Asked how they would care for their children, Rajarao said: “Nothing is in our hands. Whatever should happen will happen. It is all in the hands of God.”
