Ludhiana: Couple gives birth to healthy twins through in-vitro fertilisation
Sukhwinder Kaur (50) and her husband Mahinder Singh (65) from Raikot got married 34 years ago and she gave birth to twins after she went through the process of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF).
The couple was elated when they were blessed with two sons.
“Our world came crashing down when our sons died in 2010,” says Sukhwinder as tears roll down her cheeks. While their elder son Gurdeep Singh (24) was electrocuted, his younger brother (21) died in a bid to save him. “I lost both of them on the same day. It felt like that was end of my living. But I never lost hope,” she adds.
To fill the void in their lives, Kaur wanted to start from the scratch. The couple visited many doctors and religious places, but to no avail. Doctors even told the couple that it will be impossible for Sukhwinder to conceive.
It was then that Sukhwinder says she decided to see an IVF specialist. Her joy knew no bounds when she learnt last year that they were expecting twins.
Mahinder Singh, father of the twins, is elated. “It is magical to hear their voice fill the room. It is a marvellous experience.”
Sukhwinder’s gynecologist says, “The case was challenging because of age of the couple, but we are proud of the mother for the way she coped with the stress and strains of pregnancy and father for his support.”
