60 Years Old Woman Gives Birth To First Child Through IVF After 31 Years Of Marriage

 

A Miracle! 60 year old Mrs Omolara Irurhe (above) who had been childless for over 30 years is said to have given birth to a baby girl this Monday June 16th through the Invitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment at a Specialist Hospital in Lagos.

 

According to The Nation, Mrs Irurhe, who has been married for 31 years, started the IVF treatment in 2010 and said her faith in God and her believe in modern medicine helped her go through the process. She also said her husband Catholic's belief of one man one wife made him not to marry another woman and stood by her after many years of childlessness in marriage.

"I believe we should not limit God and what the doctors can do in this modern age. I believe this is the appointed time. I was very hopeful throughout the years I was childless and I remained focused on God. We went to many hospitals but we didn’t give up,” she said

The very excited Mr Adekunle Irurhe said he was determined to stay with his wife, though there were pressures to get another wife and his wife's belief in the In vitro fertilization method made him support her.

"I supported her throughout because my wife was dogged and she believed in herself. When I saw her faith, I had no choice but to go with her. She kept telling me she would have her child. I wasn’t thinking of another wife. I came from a monogamous family and I decided she is all I will have. The family was understanding too and we fought together to get this baby".

Mrs Irurhe has made history as the oldest woman in Africa to give birth to a child via Invitro Fertilization.
