73-year-old Indian woman gives birth to twins

At the age of 73, an Indian woman from Andhra Pradesh gave birth to twins on Thursday, reported BBC News.

The woman and her 82-year-old husband wanted children and had been trying to conceive but were unsuccessful - until now - despite numerous visits to multiple doctors.

The girls were born following an IVF treatment and delivered by cesarean section.

“The mother and the babies are doing well,” the doctor told BBC.

“We are incredibly happy,” said the husband but on Friday, he suffered a sudden stroke and was rushed to the hospital where he is undergoing treatment.

"Nothing is in our hands. Whatever should happen will happen. It is all in the hands of God," said Mr Rajaro when he was asked what would happen to the children because of the couples' advanced age.

The couple complained about feeling stigmatised in their village for not having any children. “They would call me a childless lady,” said Ms Yaramati.

She called the birth of her baby girls, the happiest time of her life.
