Can a woman get pregnant after menopause?:- There are several celebrities who are turning mothers after they crossed the age of 50. Naomi Campbell became a mother at the age of 50 and Erramatti Mangayamma turned mother at the age of 74. This is a record for being the oldest woman to give birth through IVF.
