An Indian woman has become the world’s oldest mother after giving birth to twins – at the age of 70 in Muzafargarh India. Muzafar Garh is a small city in Uterperdesh state.  Omkari Panwar and her 77-year-old husband, Charan Singh, already had two grown-up daughters, and five grandchildren, but were desperate for a son and heir. Sofar no record has been found the delivery of babies at this age. The twin babies are ok and healthy. The family is celebrating their new born kids arrival. The twin babies are boy and girl.

Omkari, who has no birth certificate and does not know the day she was born, uses the date of India’s independence in 1947 to guess her age. She said she was nine when the British Raj left India meaning she is now 70. She lives in Muzaffarnagar, seven hours drive north of the capital New Delhi. Romanian Adriana Iliescu, who gave birth to a daughter, aged 66 in 2005, is the world’s previous oldest mother.

After being told she had beaten the record by four years, Omkari said: “If I am the world’s oldest mother it means nothing to me. I just want to see my new babies and care for them while I am still able.”

Gynaecologist Nisha Malik, who performed an emergency operation on the 70-year-old said: “I was shocked when this old lady told me she was pregnant. I have been practising medicine for 20 years and I have never heard of such a case.”

Normally at late age the pregnancy can be fatal and the pregnant woman may lose her life because of her ageing factor. However in this case the mom survive.
