As couples are frequently told that they may be too old to have children, one couple in India have broken through all these age barriers and had a baby in their 70s.
They were never able to conceive naturally during their 46-year-marriage so the couple sought the help of fertility treatment.
The sprightly couple now have a beautiful baby boy and couldn’t be happier.
Daljinder Kaur, 72, and her 79-year-old husband sought fertility treatment in September 2014.
“I used to feel empty. There was so much loneliness,” Daljinder told the Agence France-Presse. “I had lost hope of becoming a mother ever.”
It wasn’t easy to convince doctors to give her the treatment but finally they agreed to her having rounds of IVF. Two years and three rounds later she conceived.
Daljinder gave birth to a healthy baby boy weighing 4.4lb who they named Arman, on April 19, 2016 — and she instantly became one of the world’s oldest mothers.
As if a healthy delivery without complications wasn’t surprising enough at Dalijinder’s age, she then went on to breastfeed her son for three months.
Almost 11 months after having her son, the media caught up with her to find out how she was coping.
Find out how this amazing family are finding life after their son arrived in the video below.
If I hadn’t watched this video I wouldn’t have believed that something like this was possible. Children are a gift and a blessing and should be celebrated.

--Going to the doctor with a headache may cost you far more than you think--
Joe had suffered from really bad headaches for the last 20 years.
He eventually decides to go and see a doctor.
The Doctor said, ‘Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches.The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache.
The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles.’
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for.
He had no choice but to go under the knife. The surgery cost him $15,000.
When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.
As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.
He saw a Men’s clothing store and thought, ‘That’s what I need…a new suit.’
He entered the shop and told the salesman, ‘I’d like a new suit.’
The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, ‘Let’s see… size 44 long.’
Joe laughed, ‘That’s right, how did you know?’
‘Been in the business 60 years!’ the tailor said.
Joe tried on the suit it fitted perfectly.
As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, ‘How about a new shirt?’
Joe thought for a moment and then said, ‘Sure.’
The salesman eyed Joe and said, ‘Let’s see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck.’
Joe was surprised, ‘That’s right, how did you know?’
‘Been in the business 60 years.’
Joe tried the shirt and it fit perfectly.
Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, ‘How about some new underwear?’
Joe thought for a moment and said, ‘Sure!’
The salesman said, ‘Let’s see….. size 36.’
Joe laughed, ‘Ah ha! I got you! I’ve worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old!’
The salesman shook his head, ‘You can’t wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your Testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache!’
