A 70-year-old woman gives birth to her first child after 54 years of marriage – God bless them always

The story you shared is about Gopichand and Chandraʋati Deʋi, an Indian couple who became parents through in vitro fertilization (IVF) at an advanced age. Chandraʋati gave birth to a healthy baby boy at the age of 70, after 54 years of marriage. The couple had struggled with infertility for many years and had undergone various treatments without success.

Gopichand visited an IVF clinic in Alwar, Rajasthan, about a year and a half ago to explore the possibility of his wife getting pregnant. Despite concerns due to Chandraʋati’s advanced age, they decided to attempt IVF, as there had been previous success stories of women in similar circumstances. After three attempts, Chandraʋati conceived and gave birth to their son.

This case is significant because it is rare for couples of such advanced age to have children. The proud father, Gopichand, who is 75 years old, expressed his joy at finally having a baby after so many years of trying. He mentioned the importance of passing on the family name, as he was the only son of his father. However, it’s worth noting that this case may be one of the last instances in India where IVF treatment is provided to individuals over 50 years old. A new law prohibits IVF centers from offering treatment to women and men above the age of 50, and Gopichand and Chandraʋati Deʋi were fortunate to conceive their baby before the law took effect.

It’s also interesting to note that India has seen other cases of older women giving birth through IVF. In 2019, a 74-year-old woman named Mangayaммa became the oldest woman to give birth in history when she had twin girls through IVF.

Overall, the story highlights the unique and exceptional circumstances of Gopichand and Chandraʋati Deʋi, who defied age-related challenges to fulfill their dream of becoming parents.
