The world's oldest mother

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Friday, March 06, 2009 | 0 comments

At first glance there is little to distinguish Naveen from the 25 million babies born each year in India.

Two months old, an ebony fuzz of hair covers her head, she has hazel skin and black eyes.

From beneath the folds of an oversized yellow and red striped woollen jumpsuit, she appears unmoved by the world around her - but then she is absorbed in other things, suckling noiselessly from her mother's breast.

And while Naveen sucks, her nursing parent is the star of the show.

Rajo Devi Lohan was 70 when she gave birth last November, making her the world's oldest known first-time mother.

Her features are sharp and angular, her frame light and bony.

And although when she stands up her back is bent, she holds her daughter with great tenderness.

It's probably the most powerful infertility reversal system ever developed, and currently the best-selling e-book of its kind on the entire Web!

Here's what the author Lisa Olson had to say about her incredible program:
After 14 years of trial, error and experimentation, I finally discovered the answer to infertility and developed a fool-proof system to getting pregnant the natural way - no drugs, or surgery necessary.

It took a lot of research to get to where I am today, to know exactly what works and what doesn't. Yes, after desperate trial and error, countless of useless treatments, disappointments and agony, a simple holistic system opened the door to my new and much brighter life of motherhood.

I was also excited to see that my other infertility related symptoms had diminished. After years of waiting I was finally free from Infertility! I have become a proud mother of two.

And now I'm finally revealing my secrets in this new 'encyclopedia' of pregnancy called, Pregnancy Miracle.

I will be your own personal coach, take you by the hand, and lead you through the lousy advice, hype and gimmicks... and directly to the sort of inner balance perfection that will end your battle with infertility forever and help you become a proud mother of your healthy children.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost our precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted there will be no more babies in our house.
