The Dream Of MotherHood

The couple had been married for 47 years and from the beginning dreamed of having a child. Sadly despite their attempts, they never bore one. However, they never lost hope. They figured that if they were patient the universe would eventually reward them. Perhaps it was a question of timing but they wouldn’t give up.

The couple considered adoption but wouldn’t settle as their wish was to have their blood child. Daljinder Kaur’s dream in life was to hold her own baby, kiss its forehead and feel like she had created a life. Without this dream becoming reality, her life felt meaningless. She explains: “I used to feel empty. There was so much loneliness…I had lost hope of becoming a mother ever.”

Doctors Rejected Them, Saying They Were Too Old To Conceive

When the couple realized that nature wasn’t taking its course they decided to look for fertility treatments that could perhaps give them the push they needed. However, it wasn’t easy to convince doctors to give a woman of her age the treatment. The couple’s perseverance finally convinced a doctor to agree to a round of IVF. After all the doctors did agree that her body was technically healthy enough to carry her desired child.

Just three rounds and two years were enough for Daljinder to get pregnant. However, this process would still have a cost. The modest couple had to cash out a million Rupees, which is equivalent to over 12,000 dollars. But Daljinder’s wish to be a mother was priceless and she explains: “money does not matter to me. I wanted my own child at any cost.”

Then A Miracle Happened

Even when all the odds seemed stacked up against them, and having a baby seemed borderline impossible, a miracle happened. Thankfully the couple’s efforts and finances weren’t in vain and they gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

At the time of birth, Daljinder Kaur was 72, and her husband was one year shy of his 80s. The possibility of him seeing his child graduate high school is slim, yet he seems overjoyed to at least be available for the beginning of his son’s life. The mother’s old age makes her one of the world’s oldest first mothers, but to her, the age is just not a number and the delay of her baby is simply a testament to her patience and the spark of motherhood that was always ignited. She adds: “Today I am a mother…we couldn’t thank our doctor for blessing us with a baby boy.”

The Age Caused No Complications

The most impressive part of the story was that the baby’s delivery was without complications and he was born completely healthy despite Dalijinder’s age. The mother was herself healthy enough to not only deliver the baby naturally but also go on to breastfeed her son for three months.

While some are opposed to the couple having a baby at their age, who are we to oppose nature? If her body had the capacity for such a healthy life, then who are we to deny another’s human existence and birth into the loving arms of his parents?
