Mangamma married Sitarama Rajarao in 1962 in Andhra Pradesh, but the couple were unable to have children until Mangamma was impregnated using in-vitro fertilisation.[4]
Pregnancy
The couple are believed to have consulted several doctors for a period before Mangamma got pregnant after consulting a village doctor, Shanakkalaya Umashankar, in November 2018.[citation needed] The couple delivered twin girls for the first time after their marriage in 1962.[5] Mangamma delivered her twins via C-section on 5 September 2019, after being impregnated through the process of in-vitro fertilisation, in the city of Hyderabad, making her the world's oldest mother and the oldest mother to give birth to twins.[6] Some news sources initially reported her age as 73,[7][8] but her doctor subsequently produced a birth certificate stating she was 74.[1]
Rajarao, her husband, died from a heart attack in 2020 at the age of 84.[9]
