An Indian woman and her husband who are both in their 70s have celebrated the birth of a baby boy following IVF treatment, their first successful pregnancy in 46 years of marriage.
According to The Guardian UK, Daljinder Kaur gave birth last month after two years of treatment using donor eggs at a fertility clinic in the northern state of Haryana.
Kaur said she and her husband, Mohinder Singh Gill, a farmer, had almost lost hope of having their own child and had faced ridicule in a country where infertility is sometimes seen as a curse from God.
“God heard our prayers. My life feels complete now, I am looking after the baby all by myself. I feel so full of energy. My husband is also very caring and helps me as much as he can.”
Their son, born “healthy and hearty” and weighing 4.4lb (2kg), has been named Arman.
