(Kazan, January 12, Tatar-inform, Lucia Kamalova).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bhavani Amma fulfilled her dream of becoming a mother, despite reaching menopause and being 62 years old.

She gave birth to a baby boy through In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) method.

She was perhaps the third oldest woman the world to have given birth to a baby at this age, the doctors at the clinic had then said.

Through all this, Bhavani Amma smiled, sharing her joy at holding her baby in her arms.

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.
