On Tuesday, 70-year old woman gave birth to a boy after two years of IVF treatment at a fertility clinic in the northern state of Haryana with her 79-year-old husband.

Daljinder Kaur, who become mother at the age of 70, said, "she was not too old to become a first-time mother, adding that her life was now complete".

Kaur said the couple, married for 46 years, had almost lost hope of ever having a child.

70-year old mother said, "God heard our prayers. My life feels complete now. I am looking after the baby all by myself, I feel so full of energy. My husband is also very caring and helps me as much as he can".

"When we saw the (IVF) advert, we thought we should also give it a try as I badly wanted to have a baby of my own," she further added.

The baby weighed 2 kilograms and was declared 'healthy and hearty'.

The doctors were first sceptical of IVF but did so after necessary tests.

Kaur's husband, Mohinder Singh Gill, who owns a farm outside Amritsar, said he was unfazed about their age, saying God would watch over their child whom they named Armaan.

"I first tried to avoid the case because she looked very frail. Then we made her undergo all the tests and once all the results were okay we went ahead," the doctor said.
