Rajo Devi, the mom who welcomed her first baby at 70, has decided that she would like do it again stating,
“It’s amazing to finally be a mother. I’ve waited for so long to have a baby of my own.
“The doctors said I was healthier than many women half my age. I’d love to have a boy.”
Rajo, from Haryana, India, gave birth to 3lb 4oz Naveen Lohan by arranged caesarean section on November 28.
She and husband Bala Ram, 72, had been trying for a baby since they married when she was 15 and he was 17.
She said:
“We thought it was not meant to be. Every passing year there was less and less chance of becoming parents.”
The couple mortgaged their crop of rice and bamboo for next year and took out high-interest loans to pay for £2,000 IVF treatment.

Their mixed-race parents Dean Durrant and Alison Spooner repeated the two-tone miracle after a seven-year gap.
When the first set of twins arrived in 2001, the couple were astonished to see that Lauren took after her white mum, with blue eyes and red hair, while Hayleigh had black skin and hair like dad Dean.
Then this year Alison, 27, found she was expecting again — and lightning struck twice.
She had twin girls again. And little Miya was born with dark skin like her dad and Leah is white like former recruitment consultant Alison.
The latest set of unique twins arrived on November 13 by Caesarean section after just 37 weeks of pregnancy, when scans revealed both were breach.
Doctors took 30 minutes to deliver them, with Miya weighing 4lb lloz and Leah 5lb 10oz.
Doctor Carol Cooper, author of a book on twins, said there was a two in a million chance of a second set of twins like the Durrant girls.
“To have a second set of non-identical twins is unusual. It means the mum is very fertile.”

Some say that 11-years-old Hazem Hawamdeh of Jerash, Jordan could be the smallest boy in the world. In the picture, he sits on a scale to show he weighs just 12 pounds and stands just 2 feet, 4 inches tall.
His family and doctors struggle to solve the mystery of his small size.
If I were to guess, I would say that he probably has Primordial Dwarfism, a genetic condition that effects children who are profoundly growth delayed for their gestational age before birth and at birth.
This is the same condition that effects Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley, a little girl I have had the pleasure of meeting because her mom and I used to work together.
She was born on Feb.13, 2003, weighing just 2 lbs, 8 ounces and isn’t expected to grow past about 30 inches or weigh more than 8 pounds.
Primordial Dwarfism is believed to affect only about 100 people in the world.

The boy, Alexander, was discovered wandering alone at 11.30pm on Sunday night in the street after his family had gone to look at the Christmas light displays.
The weird part is that it took his parents until lunchtime the next day to realize he was missing and contact police.
The Police say that the family took two cars from their home with their eight children, as well as a neighbor’s children, to the lights.
Each parent thought the other had Alexander in their car for the trip home.
“They’ve got home and all piled out and the kids have gone straight to bed and they didn’t realize anything was amiss until lunchtime today.”
Alexander is now home safe with his parents. Maybe they will now devise a roll call system so that they know when everyone is present…Related Articles:
