Ok, when i saw this i was shocked. She's 70 years old, had child, but now sadly she is dying from complications. Ladies is this worth it? I would think so, i am not a women but to live most my life without child i would take the chance. That would almost be seen as an ultimate sacrifice, her life for another's life. It is amazing in essence. check it out you'll have to search for it seeing how i am only at 38 or so. I found it under "worlds oldest mother Rajo Devi Lohan reveals she's dying"

wow.. so she is like Sarah who got pregnant at 90, only she got pregnant 20 years younger than Sarah... i never thought women now can still be pregnant by that age... anyway, its a sad thing that she wont be able to enjoy motherhood and her baby will grow up with out her...

From the article it was some research place in india that got her pregnant. I personally think it's the womans choice to go through whith stuff like that but what makes it our right to change nature like that?

Giving birth at such an old age I think , in my opinion of course, is wrong and dangerous all at the same time. I understand the need to give life, the wonderful feeling you have when your child is brought into this world. But it is not only dangerous for the mother, being at such an old age, but it is also dangerous for the child. The child is more likley to have been born with disabilities and health complications themselves. Not only is it sad that the mother will not get to see her child grow up, but it is a shame that the child has to grow up not knowing his or her mommy as well.

I feel ya sis, i just thought it was interesting that she actually sucessfully gave birth, now she isn't the only one having issues, i guess the second oldest lady who was 66 gave birth to triplets but she is suffering from issues fromthe IVF pregnancy

It is sad that her baby will grow up without having a mommy. Yes, it is possible to give birth to a baby and then die from complications. I was 36 years when my baby daughter was born and after her birth the placenta came out with four blood clots. I carried on bleeding and lost more than two and a half liters of blood. Now I am 37 years old and soon will be 38 years old I am not planning to have anymore children. I think older than 45 years to have a baby is too old. A grandmother might be 70 years old but a mother it is unrealistic. Having a baby at age 70 would be challenging for the ladies body. It is hard enough to have a baby at age 40 and that is with mother nature.

It is truly a beautiful thing the advancements in our lives today that allow people who all their lives tried and couldnt have children to finally have children and their lives be complete. I am so sad though that someone would have a baby at 70 years old. That is way to old and its no wonder she is dying after what her body went through at that age. The poor child is now going to grow up without her mommy and probably soon enough without her daddy as well. I hope they have people to take care of the baby after they are gone! I found this article online about this mother whose dying : http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/06/14/2010-06-14_worlds_oldest_mother_72_is_dying__just_months_after_giving_birth.html

*Shocked!* I never thought that an old age like that can give birth to a baby! I am now very proud of her! Even if in her old age, she managed to give birth to that child and she endured everything for the sake of that baby. Unfortunately, it is too sad that the mother is already dying and that her baby will be left from the care of her real mother. :(
