One of the most recent advances in assisted reproductive technologies is egg donation. This has made it easier for many women over 50 to get pregnant and has also made it possible for more women to get pregnant after 50.
During the perimenopause stage of a woman’s life, her periods and menstrual cycle may become unpredictable or stop all together.
After the age of 42, a woman’s chances of having a healthy child decrease even if she has regular periods because her eggs are of lesser quality than those of a younger woman.
However, the fact that a woman who was 74 years old was able to successfully give birth to a baby girl is a tale that is making ripples on social media. [
In a Facebook post, the folks in charge of spreading the news shared a photo of an elderly woman who was breastfeeding her child.
Sharing the photo, the user captioned:
In Nzhelele, Venda Limpopo, an old woman gave birth to a healthy daughter. The information that Mrs. Sarah Mulaudzi was expecting a child surprised her. I was weak and worn out, she thought. I chose to get medical help since this was unusual. I’ve decided to retain the baby since I’m strongly opposed abortion from a moral standpoint. Her spouse died about ten years ago. She lives with a local 19-year-old who helps her out by doing errands and giving her water. She steadfastly refused to say who the father was.
Despite the fact that many are concerned about whether or not the 19-year-old is the father of the child, they are relieved to find that the grandmother and her newborn child are doing well.
