As you know, the optimal age for women to have children is from 20 to 35 years. Exceeding this age threshold is characterized by the extinction of childbearing function due to hormonal changes leading to a decrease in the ability to conceive naturally.
The dangers of late pregnancy
At the age of 45-50 years, a woman can no longer conceive a child in connection with 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 (Down syndrome is best known), and prematurity.
The oldest women in the world
Brave women who want to experience the joy of motherhood , regardless of their age and get a second youth, are available in all corners of the planet.
A striking example is the oldest woman in the world, Adriana Iliescu, who in 2005, at the age of 66, gave birth to a charming baby Eliza. Pregnancy came as a result of artificial insemination. Condemnation of friends, misunderstanding of the public, prejudice did not become obstacles for Adriana Iliescu. Her girl is mobile, studies well, gets along well with other children. In a word, she is a completely healthy and normal child.
Adrian is not at all embarrassed that on the street she is often mistaken for the grandmother (and sometimes great-grandmother) of a pretty girl. The oldest woman in the world perceives criticism as bursts of envy of those who were not able 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 old age, loose skin and numerous wrinkles. The guardian in case of death of the Romanian will be Dr. Bogdan Marinescu, who helped Adriana to 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 to motherhood through artificial insemination .
At the age of 69, the oldest woman in the world, being full of optimism and believing that, like her mother, she would live to be 101 years old, died of cancer.
In 2008, in India, 70-year-old Rajo Devi Lohan, who tried unsuccessfully to become pregnant for several decades, gave birth to a baby girl, Nevin. True, data on her age are hypothetical (due to lack of a passport) and are based on the words of a woman. The baby's father was 72 years old at the time the first-born appeared.
The couple married when the bride was 12 years old, and the groom -14. For 58 years, the couple unsuccessfully tried to have a baby, which prompted them to decide on an IVF procedure, which cost $ 35,000. After the death of his mother, Nevin will become one of the richest brides in the district and will inherit 57 hectares of land.
With the help of in vitro fertilization at the age of 70, the twin mother became another oldest woman in the world - Indian Omkari Ranvar. A woman and her 77-year-old husband carried out the procedure to realize the dream of a child, spending all her savings on it. Moreover, the spouses already have two daughters and five grandchildren.
The oldest woman on the planet who managed to conceive naturally and give birth to a baby, is considered to be 59-year-old Down Brook - a resident of the island of Grancy.
And what about mothers from Russia?
The oldest mother in our country today is considered Natalia Surkova, who gave birth to a girl at 57 years old. The appearance in 1996 of a healthy baby was made possible thanks to hormonal therapy. Another elderly mother - Lyudmila Belyavskaya (wife of actor Alexander Belyavsky) - managed to bear and give birth to a child at 52 years old. The main argument of age mothers with vital stability, prosperity and stability 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 sufficient time to his upbringing.
In contrast to older mothers, there are girls who are ready or forced to learn the joy of motherhood, being themselves still children. So, for example, at the age of 5 years 7 months, Lina Medina became a mother , having reached puberty by the age of 4 years.
The oldest and youngest women in childbirth in the world are exceptions and vivid examples of a personโs use of his abilities to the full in contrast to the social foundations and natural abilities of the body.
