FACT OF THE DAY:

Who is the World's Oldest Mother?


Omkari Panwar, the wife of a retired farmer, delivered a boy and girl by caesarean section on Friday.
The frail pensioner, who has two adult daughters and five grandchildren, underwent IVF treatment to produce a male heir to the family’s smallholdings. Mom, Omkari Panwar, is 70 years old. Her husband, Charan Singh Panwar, 77, mortgaged his land, sold his buffalos, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan to finance the treatment.
2 months premature and weighing only two pounds each are healthy and expected to survive, according to doctors at Jaswant Roy Speciality Hospital.
Omkari, who has no birth certificate and does not know the day she was born, uses the date of India’s independence in 1947 to guess her age.
She said she was nine when the British Raj left India meaning she is now 70. She lives in Muzaffarnagar, seven hours drive north of the capital New Delhi.
Gynaecologist Nisha Malik, who performed an emergency operation on the 70-year-old said: “I was shocked when this old lady told me she was pregnant. I have been practising medicine for 20 years and I have never heard of such a case.”
