In an astonishing turn of events, a 66-year-old woman hailing from India has accomplished an unprecedented feat – giving birth to triplets after an astounding 44 years of marriage without any children. This remarkable occurrence potentially solidifies her place in history as the world’s oldest woman to achieve such a remarkable birth.
Bhateri Devi, residing in India, has become the embodiment of hope and perseverance as she embarked on the journey of motherhood at an age that many would consider unlikely. The medical marvel unfolded at the National Insemination Center in Hisar, Haryana, where Bhateri Devi underwent the intricate process of artificial insemination, which eventually led to her pregnancy.
However, this triumphant journey was not without its challenges. The infants, two boys and a girl, were born with significantly low birth weights – a mere 1.2 kg, 1.1 kg, and 800 g, respectively. The dedicated medical team, led by Dr. Anurag Bishnoi, closely monitored Bhateri Devi’s progress and provided the urgent care required for both the mother and the newborns.
Dr. Anurag Bishnoi shared that Bhateri Devi’s birth certificate, issued by a government hospital in Rohtak district, confirmed her birth on May 21, 1944, in Madina village of Rohtak. The journey to this historic moment involved multiple attempts at artificial insemination. The first two attempts yielded the implantation of only two embryos per cycle. It was the third and final attempt that proved successful, as three embryos were placed in Bhateri Devi’s uterus, leading to her conception.
Deva Singh’s heartfelt words capture the essence of this incredible journey: “Bhateri fulfilled my dream of having children and giving my family an heir. Bhateri was my first wife, and after she couldn’t have children, I took a second wife, but again I didn’t have children with my later wife. I am very happy and will give my children a full and prosperous life in the future.”
The story of Bhateri Devi’s remarkable journey to motherhood stands as a testament to the unyielding spirit of human determination, the marvels of medical advancement, and the enduring power of dreams realized against all odds.
