A 70 year old Indian woman has delivered her first baby girl, after the treatment of infertility, according to a report.

Rajo Devi, the 70 year old mother, had been trying to get pregnant for last 50 years with her husband, of age 72, who had not succeeded to become a father in his two previous marriages. Sex cells of both male and female, which were used in the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) are still undetermined, the newspaper reported.

Devi got expectant through IVF at northern Indian state of Haryana, after doctors examination that explain “she was strong enough to survive a high-risk pregnancy”. The mother and her baby girl, both are completely well, without any abnormality.

Devi, after Omkari Panwar, is the second old woman in India who gave birth this year. In July, Omkari Panwar, a mother of two and grandmother to five children have given birth to twins through Caesarean section, a boy and girl, after IVF treatment. Panwar had no birth certificate or any legal document that is why her age couldn’t be verified as she becomes the oldest woman to give birth. In 2006, a Spanish woman aged 67, gave birth to twins via IVF.

Although advances infertility treatments have enabled older women to get pregnant, some medical ethics experts raise question, whether clinics should accept a 70-year-old as a patient? The gynecologist of Devi said “I didn’t face any medical problems for the elderly woman and her child, except for the probability that the child could be orphaned at an relatively very early age because of her parents’ old age” the newspaper reported.
