Some news seems so incredible, that it is very difficult to believe that it is true.

In 2016, an Indian woman named Daljinder Kaur gave birth at the venerable age of 70 - and needless to say, within a very short time, she became famous as the "oldest mother in the world".

Now, however, in 2019 to beat all the records is another woman from a small Indian village. In fact, at 74 years of age, Erramatti Mangayamma has given birth to twin girls.

Therefore, finally, after trying for sixty years, Erramatti has given birth, together with her husband Rajarao, who is now 80 years old.

Erramatti and Rajarao were married in 1962 but were never able to conceive a child. The desire to have children, however, was so strong that the couple tried the in vitro fertilization (IVF) method to realize their dream of becoming parents.
 
Consequently, the doctors agreed to go ahead and use the IVF procedure, thanks to which the woman gave birth to twin girls at the Ahalya hospital.

Erramatti said she was motivated to get pregnant at the age of seventy, after learning that her 50-year-old neighbor had managed to have a baby.
