Ultra-Genes of the Century: 70 yr old bears twins.

Okari Panwar, a grandmother, was determined to have a son. She gave birth to twins this week, without even thinking baout the fact that not only would she become the worlds oldest mother, but also....she was blatantly defying nature.
And so, Okari and her 77 year old husband began trying to have a child. Due to their age, IVF treatments were necessary.
To pay for the IVF treatment, the retired farmer sold his buffalos, mortgaged his land, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan.

It all paid off when Mrs. Panwar gave birth to twins - a boy and girl - by emergency Caesarean section in hospital in Muzaffarnagar, seven hours drive north of the Indian capital New Delhi.

The twins, born a month premature and weighing 2lb each, are healthy, according to doctors.

Mrs Panwar said: 'For eight months the pregnancy was hectic and painful. But I have given birth before, so I knew what to expect. Sometimes, you have to face the pain if you want something good.'
Her husband added: 'At last we have a son and heir. We prayed to God, went to saints and visited religious places to pray for an heir.
'The treatment cost me a fortune but the birth of a son makes it all worthwhile. I can die a happy man and a proud father.'

Gynecologist Nisha Malik, who delivered the twins in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, said: 'I was shocked when this old lady told me she was pregnant. I have been in medicine for 20 years and I have never heard of such a case.'
