In a heartwarming and extraordinary story, Jivunben Rabari, a 70-year-old woman from Gujarat, India, has given birth to her first child, making her one of the oldest first-time mothers in the world. The historic birth was made possible through in vitro fertilization (IVF), marking a remarkable milestone in assisted reproductive technology.
For decades, Jivunben and her husband, Maldhari, 55, had dreamt of becoming parents. Despite years of trying and eventually coming to terms with their inability to conceive naturally, they never lost hope. The couple’s unwavering desire to start a family was finally fulfilled thanks to modern medical intervention.
The baby, born healthy and safe, has brought immense joy to the family. Dr. Bhanushali, who oversaw the delivery, said:
“The couple is happy now, and the mother is calm. The baby is healthy, and we are closely monitoring the case.”
Medical experts highlighted that pregnancies at such an advanced age carry significant health risks, making this achievement particularly extraordinary. The successful birth serves as a testament to the power of modern reproductive medicine and the determination of individuals to pursue lifelong dreams.
