ISLAMABAD (ANI) -- Normally it is difficult for women to conceive after around 50 years of age. But, quite unbelievably, an 80-year-old woman in Pakistan is pregnant of four months.

According to The News, the woman, Khurshid Bibi, stays in village Ghaziabad, near Chichawatni, in Sahiwal district, around 128 km from Multan.

When she learnt about the fact she was astonished saying it would be very difficult for her to face the grand children.

Khurshid Bibi got to know about her pregnancy last week when she visited a hospital complaining of pain in her abdomen. An ultrasound was done and her pregnancy was discovered.

Khurshid, who got married in 1950, gave birth to a female child only in the following year and could not conceive again. Her husband Ahmed Din (85) said a palmist-astrologer had told him some years ago that he would become a father of another child after a few years, but he never believed him.
