70 Years Old Woman Gives Birth To Triplets

The world’s oldest mother is dying just 18 months after giving birth at the age of 70. Rajo Devi Lohan says she is too weak to recover from complications after her IVF pregnancy. News about her condition came as it emerged that a 66-year-old has become the oldest woman in the world to have triplets.

Rajo Devi Lohan is too weak to care for her 18-month-old daughter Naveen. Some experts fear Bhateri Devi could suffer the same fate as Mrs Lohan.

Both women received IVF treatment at the same controversial clinic in India after being unable to bear children throughout their married lives, which is regarded as a stigma in their culture.

Mrs Lohan, who gave birth to her daughter Naveen in November 2008, is now confined to bed and so frail she cannot lift the little girl. But she has no regrets, saying: ‘I dreamed about having a child all my life. It does not matter to me that I am ill, because at least I lived long enough to become a mother. ‘The doctor never warned me it was dangerous to have a baby at my age. But I was healthy before, and now I am very sick.’
