World's oldest mom, 73, gives birth

A 73-year-old Indian woman has become what is believed to be the oldest woman to give birth in the world - after giving birth to TWINS.

Erramatti Mangayamma has waited 60 YEARS to have children with her 80-year-old husband, Rajarao, a farmer.

But she is now the proud mother of twins after undergoing IVF.

Erramatti, from the small Nelapartipadu village in the Eastern Godavari district of India, was given the all-clear for IVF treatment at the Ahalya Hospital last year.

She has surpassed the age of the previous oldest mum in the world, Daljinder Kaur, from Punjab, India, who gave birth at the age of 70 in 2016.

The birth of Erramatti's daughters end the pensioner's 60-year wait to have children after decades of trying

The pair, married in 1962 and until now have never been parents.

Doctors successfully delivered the babies following a successful cesarean operation on Thursday.
