A Russian woman claims to be both the world's oldest person and the oldest-ever mother. Her passport shows that she’s 125, and she says she last gave birth a mere 46 years ago, at the tender age of 79.
No doubts she could give a birth in her 79s. She was born in the Caucasus, which is well known as a land of long-life ppl. She's been living within her whole life in 1 place, close to the nature and near the mountains..she's never moved, she ate same food day by day. The fact she didnt want this story to be popular is about the Kabardian traditions. I am quite sure she felt ashamed when she got pregnant in her age. I think the Caucasus had lots of same examples. My grandfather passed away in the age of 98, and my grandgrandfather in the age of 115. And my grandmother in her age of 80 is quite good with handy but doesnt know about Bilan or whoever. They dont need it.
