READING:

A 73-year-old woman in India has had twins. It is "the happiest time" of her life. She needed an operation but is well now. The twins are healthy. The mother thought she would never have children. She first tried fifty years ago. She said people hurt her by calling her "the childless lady".

The IVF method helped the woman give birth. She got a fertilized egg from a younger woman and became pregnant. The mother's doctors are happy with her. She had three groups of doctors. One looked after her health, one looked after her food, and one looked after her pregnancy. One doctor said she was in safe hands.
