As you know, the optimal age for a woman to have children is from 20 to 35 years. Exceeding this age threshold is characterized by the decline of fertility due to hormonal changes, leading to a decrease in the ability to conceive naturally.
Dangers of Late Pregnancy
At the age of 45-50, a woman can no longer conceive a child due to the onset of menopause.
Moreover, in adulthood, pregnancy is dangerous for both the mother and the unborn child, representing a single organism in the process of bearing a baby. For a woman, late pregnancy is fraught with miscarriage, premature birth, exacerbation of chronic diseases, complications during childbirth. This threatens the child with the danger of hypoxia, the risk of chromosomal abnormalities (the most famous is Down's syndrome), prematurity.
The oldest women in labor in the world
Courageous women who want to experience the joy of motherhood, regardless of their age and get a second youth, are found in all corners of the planet.
A striking example is the oldest woman in labor inworld of Adriana Iliescu, who in 2005, at the age of 66, gave birth to the charming baby Eliza. Pregnancy came as a result of artificial insemination. Condemnation of friends, misunderstanding of the public, prejudices did not become obstacles for Adriana Iliescu. Her girl is mobile, studies well, gets along well with other children. In short, she is a perfectly he althy and normal child.
Adriana is not at all embarrassed that on the street she is often mistaken for the grandmother (and sometimes great-grandmother) of a lovely girl. The oldest woman in labor in the world perceives criticism as outbursts of envy of those who did not happen to realize something like this. A teacher of Romanian literature, the writer dreams of a second child and is ready to become a mother again, despite her advanced age, sagging skin and numerous wrinkles. The guardian in the event of the death of the Romanian will be Dr. Bogdan Marinescu, who helped Adriana get pregnant. Fortunately, the woman took care of this and left the necessary funds for her beloved daughter on the account.
The oldest women in labor from other countries
In 2006, 66-year-old Spaniard Carmela Busada de Lara, who gave birth to twin boys, decided on motherhood through artificial insemination.
At 69, the world's oldest woman in childbirth, full of optimism and believing that, like her mother, she would live to 101, died of cancer.
In 2008, in India, 70-year-old Rajo Devi Lohan, who unsuccessfully triedbecome pregnant for several decades, gave birth to a girl, Nevin. True, the data on her age are conjectural (due to the lack of a passport) and are based on the words of a woman. The baby's father was 72 years old at the time of the appearance of the first child.
The couple got married when the bride was 12 and the groom was 14. For 58 years, the couple tried unsuccessfully to have a child, which prompted them to decide on an IVF procedure that cost $35,000. After her mother's death, Nevin will become one of the richest brides in the area and will inherit 57 hectares of land.
With the help of in vitro fertilization at the age of 70, the oldest mother in the world, Indian woman Omkari Ranwar, became the mother of twins. A woman and her 77-year-old husband carried out the procedure to make their dream of a child come true, spending all their savings on it. Moreover, the spouses already have two daughters and five grandchildren.
The oldest woman on the planet who managed to get pregnant naturally and give birth to a baby is 59-year-old Dawn Brook, a resident of the island of Grancy.
And what about mothers from Russia?
The oldest mother in our country today is considered to be Natalya Surkova, who gave birth to a girl at the age of 57. The birth of a he althy baby in 1996 became possible thanks to hormone therapy. Another elderly mother - Lyudmila Belyavskaya (wife of actor Alexander Belyavsky) - managed to endure and give birth to a child at 52. The main argument of older mothers who have life stability, prosperity andsustainability of family relationships is a conscious approach to the issue of conception and pregnancy. The experience gained over time allows them to be more patient and attentive to the needs of the baby, devoting enough time to raising him.
In contrast to older mothers, there are girls who are ready or forced to know the joy of motherhood, being themselves still children. So, for example, at the age of 5 years 7 months, Lina Medina became a mother, who reached puberty by the age of 4.
The oldest and youngest women in labor in the world are exceptions and vivid examples of a person using their capabilities to the fullest as opposed to social foundations and the natural capabilities of the body.
