Trip At 66

A 66-year-old Indian woman has become the oldest woman in the world to give birth to triplets after undergoing vitro fertilization.

The children are Bhateri Devi’s first delivery. “I wanted to have a family,” she told the media. “Before I didn’t have any children, even at this age, that’s why I gave birth to these children.”

In 2008, another Indian woman, 70-year-old Omkari Pawal, became the oldest woman in the world to give birth to twins. She dismissed the media hoopla at the time, saying, “If I am the world’s oldest mother it means nothing to me. I just want to see my new babies and care for them while I am still able.”
