Is there an age at which it is too old to have a baby? A 73-year-old woman in India has given birth to twins. The woman said that becoming a mother for the first time was "the happiest time" of her life. The mother needed a caesarean section operation to deliver the twins.

She said not having children caused her pain as people called her "the childless lady".

生孩子的最大年龄有限制吗？印度一名73岁的女性产下了双胞胎。这名女性表示第一次做母亲是她一生中“最幸福的时刻”。这位母亲需要做剖腹产手术来生下双胞胎。这位母亲和她的双胞胎女儿都很健康，母亲在手术后恢复得很好。这位女性曾以为自己不能有孩子了。50年前，她和她的丈夫第一次尝试要孩子。他们所有的尝试都未成功。这位女性曾以为，在25年前开始绝经后，她将再也不可能有孩子了。她表示没有孩子让她很痛苦，人们称她为“无子女女士”。

The woman was able to give birth because of the method of IVF. A healthy egg was taken from a younger woman and was fertilized² with her husband's sperm³. The woman then carried the fertilized egg and she became pregnant⁴. She said that when she found out she was having twins, she could not describe her happiness. She said: "This is the happiest time of my life." The new mother's doctors are also happy with their patient. One doctor said: "During the IVF treatment, we had three groups of doctors. One took care of her general health, one took care of her nutritional⁵ status and one took care of her pregnancy⁶." The doctor said she was always in very good hands.
