An Indian Woman gives birth to her won grandchildren

London : A 46-year-old woman in Gujarat has given birth to her own grandchildren, following a deal with her London-based daughter and son-in-law. The embryo was implanted in the woman's womb last year. The woman became a surrogate mother to twins on behalf of her infertile daughter and son-in-law to help them become parents. The couple, who have chosen to remain anonymous, had been told by doctors they could not have children. The reason was that the wife had a rare congenital condition, known as Rokitansky Syndrome, which does not allow the uterus to develop normally. An IVF specialist behind the birth, Dr Nayana Patel, said : "The couple are very happy. They don't feel there is anything wrong with what has happened. They wanted children so badly and could not find anyone else to help them." The couple, who live in Ilford, made the decision with the backing of Dr Patel, a private fertility doctor in Gujarat, where they have relatives. Dr Patel said she encouraged the couple to ask the young woman's own mother to be a surrogate, and then helped persuade the older woman. The twins' father will join his new family in the next few days and the babies are expected to be brought to UK in about eight weeks.
