最近印度出现了一位70多岁“高龄”产妇平安诞下双胞胎女儿，这真的可以去申请吉尼斯纪录了。

曼加亚玛和丈夫结婚50多年，一直没有自己的孩子，一辈子在村子里没有抬起过头。

据印度斯坦时报报道，曼加亚玛25年前就已经绝经，但她仍然渴望成为一名母亲，在她听说一个55岁的女邻居怀孕后，她接受了体检以确定她是否适合体外受精。

今年1月，这对夫妇使用了卵子供体和拉贾拉的精子，在第一个卵裂周期曼加亚玛成功怀孕。

A 73-year-old woman in India has given birth to twin girls. Erramatti Mangayamma, a farmer from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, is believed to be the oldest person ever to give birth. She became pregnant through IVF and doctors delivered the babies via caesarian section Thursday.

印度一名73岁的妇女生下一对双胞胎女孩。来自印度南部安得拉邦的农民曼加亚玛是有史以来生育年龄最大的女人。她通过试管受精怀孕。周四，医生对她进行了剖腹产手术。

The surgery went well ... the mother and the babies are all healthy with no complications, Dr Sanakayyala Umashankar, the director of Ahalya IVF, who performed the C-section, told CNN.

负责试管婴儿和剖腹产的医生乌曼斯卡告诉CNN，“手术进行得很顺利……母亲和婴儿都很健康，没有并发症。”

Mangayamma and her husband, 80-year-old E Raja Rao, have been married since 1962 but had never been able to conceive naturally. They approached Umashankar in 2018 and, after preliminary tests were promising, the doctor agreed to give them one round of IVF treatment.

曼加亚玛和她80岁的丈夫拉奥自1962年结婚，但一直无法自然受孕。2018年，他们找到了乌曼斯卡，在通过初步测试后，医生同意给他们做试管婴儿。

Given Mangayamma’s age, the doctors performed a C-section and will keep her under observation for the next 21 days."We are not allowing the mother to breastfeed and the babies will be fed through the milk bank," Umashankar said.

考虑到曼加亚玛的年龄，医生为她做了剖腹产手术，并将在接下来的21天里对她进行观察。乌曼斯卡说:“我们不允许高龄母亲采用母乳喂养，婴儿将进行奶粉喂养。”

Rao, 80, has already begun making plans for his daughter, said Umashankar. And for Mangayamma, it is a new lease of life at the age of 73, she is very confident now looking forward to the next chapter of her life with the kids.

现年80岁的拉贾拉已经开始为双胞胎女儿制定计划。对曼加亚玛来说，她在73岁时迎来新生命。她现在非常自信，对自己的生活比以往任何时候都更有信心，她期待着和孩子们一起度过人生的新篇章。

在面对年事已高如何照顾孩子时，拉贾拉说：“我们一无所有，事情该发生还是会发生，这是由上帝决定的。”

不幸的是，在双胞胎出生后的第2天，82岁的丈夫拉贾拉中风住院治疗。
