The World's Oldest Mums

The World's Oldest Mums

Rajo Devi, 70, the world's oldest first-time mother

The world's oldest first-time mother, a British woman trying for a baby in her seventies, a 69-year-old Spanish mum and a 70-year-old Californian mother of twins.

Despite a combined age of more than 280, they've all chosen to have babies long after the menopause has put a stop to them doing it the old-fashioned way.

In reaction to the provocative story of Elizabeth Adeney - a 66-year-old divorcee who sought fertility treatment from the Ukraine - Amanda Blue travels the world to meet these four women who have chosen to make the most of fertility technology's rapid progress.
