Schlepping a baby carriage up and down subway stairs; standing with a big fat pregnant stomach while 10 men sit, pretending they don't see her (oh, I forgot, she's in India not New York); going back to a full time job after a few weeks to help her husband make ends meet, and pumping breast milk in her lunch hour to take home to the baby (darn, I keep forgetting she's in India not New York). I'm just going by the experiences of my co-worker. Thanks goodness we're not in the Third World.

52 is nothin'. I was still swimming daily and in a bikini, no less....a little butt floss piece of fabric w two triangles on top.

I was probably in better health since I was young when I gave birth and didn't think about health.

I wouldn't get too wrapped up in this story until valid proof of their ages is confirmed and paternity testing is done.
