fertility treatments after having a
miscarriage in her forties and finally

her age. She gave birth to her twins
Joshua and Jared at the age of 60.

women are often under pressure to have
babies will be heirs to the family
property once they've passed. Devi and

husband's sperm, and Devi gave birth to
triplets via cesarean in 2010 when she was
66 years old.

three adult children from her first
marriage but wanted to have a baby with

and became one of Britain's oldest
mothers to give birth.

from unknown causes.
Number Five - Rajo Devi Lohan
Rajo Devi Lohan was 69 years old
when she gave birth to her daughter
Naveen via in vitro fertilization, which
she and her husband
take out loans to pay for. In a culture
where motherhood is a goal, Lohan felt she
was falling short and so she found a
doctor who was willing to provide
fertility treatment. Lohan stated that
her pregnancy and the whole process in
general made her feel unwell and about
18 months after giving birth,
it was announced that Lohan was dying.
However, she is still alive and expressed
that the desire to live to see her
daughter get married is giving her strength.

the age of 70, when she gave birth to

Joseph. She was one of the first old
mother's to give birth which sparked
much controversy. At the time, she already
had a 41 year old daughter and three
grandchildren. Buttle made headlines and
was declared a miracle mom. Due to the
fact that the father of the baby left
her, Buttle was enjoying even more
attention and respect, however once the
news broke out that she lied to the
public and had in fact used IVF
treatment to get pregnant, her fall from
grace was quick and dramatic as her rise.

the oldest mothers to give birth,
Kaur's exact age was unclear.

have a birth certificate, which is not
uncommon in India.
