66 years old indian woman gave birth to triplets

New Delhi, June 23: A 66 year old woman in India gave birth to triplets on May 29 after 44 years of marriage to her 64 year old husband, with no children. She is most likely the oldest women to ever give birth the three babies at once.
The birth came after an in vetro fertilization process which involved a younger woman’s eggs and her husbands sperm. Bhateri Devi gave birth to two sons and a daughter thanks to the National Fertility Centre in Hisar India. The Centre has impregnated over a hundred women who were past 50 years old.
“According to the birth certificate issued by a government hospital in Rohtak district, Bhateri Devi was born on May 21, 1944 in Madina village of Rohtak. This birth proof is authentic and therefore she has become the oldest mother in the world to give birth to triplets so far,” said a statement from Anurag Bishnoi, who supervised the birth.
She went on to say, “For the first two attempts, only two embryos were transferred in each cycle. But in third attempt three embryos were transferred in her uterus, resulting in the birth of three children by a Cesarean process.”
Her husband is very pleased, “Bhateri has fulfilled my dream of having a child and gave my family an heir. She was my first wife and after she failed to conceive a child, I married twice but again I did not have any child from my other wives also,” he expressed.
