World’s oldest Mother at 70 celebrates baby’s first Birthday

Rajo Devi the World’s oldest mother has celebrated her baby’s first birthday on Friday in Haryana, a state in northern India.

Last year Rajo Devi garnered global attention after successfully giving birth to a healthy baby girl through in-vitro fertility (IVF) treatment. For her 72-year-old husband, Bala Ram, it was third time lucky, having failed to become a father in two earlier marriages.

Rajo Devi said: ‘‘We’re happy to have a child and also performed ‘Jalwa’ (first birthday celebration), a ceremony held only for a male child in Haryana, on Friday,

“Life was miserable before the birth of child (Naveen Lohan). We read an advertisement on the technology (IVF) in a newspaper and decided to take its help. I took prescribed medicine for the birth of the baby,” said Rajo.

The doctors who assisted the elderly couple through IVF success said that advances in technology has helped many childless couples fulfill their dream.

Dr. Anurag Bishnoi, said: “The technology helps the creation of embryo outside the body and it is transferred into the body at appropriate time. This technology has been revolutionized in last few years due to various developments. As a result success rate has increased. Earlier, the success rate was 30 per cent, now it is 50 per cent,”

“We have waited for more than 40 years for this child, ” says Rajo Devi.

“It was God’s gift to us that she arrived.”

She also says that she plans to breastfeed her “for at least three years”. And, who knows, maybe she will.

Elizabeth Adeney will be Britains Oldest New Mum

Britain’s oldest new mother is going to be Elizabeth Adeney. At the ripe age of 66, she is four years older than the previous controversial record holder. Ms Adeney is a successful business woman, is in good health and looking forward to the birth of her child.

Did you know? The worlds oldest new mum was 70-year-old Omkari Panwar from India, who had a twin boy and girl last year.

Elizabeth Adeney is thought to have undergone IVF treatment in the Ukraine because most British clinics will not treat women over the age of 50. Her pregnancy will likely rekindle the public debate over late motherhood and the ability of science to enable women in their fifties and sixties to become mothers, where nature would not previously.

Mrs Adeney will be just short of her 80th birthday when her child becomes a teenager.
A friend said she had been desperate to conceive for years.

A friend was qouted as saying: “She was desperate for a child. She was over the moon when she learned last year that she was pregnant and has been quite open about it - it’s not the sort of thing she can hide.

“Elizabeth has had a pretty good pregnancy. She has been very well, considering her age - I’m amazed how she keeps going.

“She does get up a little later in the mornings than she used to and sometimes spends an hour or two at home before going to work but she is still at her business Monday to Friday.”

Yesterday, she declined to discuss her pregnancy.

“I am a private person and while I appreciate there may be some publicity I will just ignore it,’ she said.
“This has been a very personal decision and I do not feel I have to give interviews or talk to anyone in the media about what I have decided to do and where I have done it.”

A spokesman for the Church of England said: ‘”A child is a gift not a right.

“For those who have never received that gift we can well understand their desire to have children but it is always important to think in those circumstances about what is really in the child’s best interests.”

One of the chief health risks to older mothers is pre-eclampsia, which can lead to blood clots and serious complications, or even death.

However, the condition, which causes high blood pressure, can be detected by regular checks.
