This is the 70-year-old woman reportedly six months pregnant with her eighth child and she will apparently become the oldest new mother in history if she gives birth.
The mum-to-be identified as Maria de la Luz, lives in Mazatlan, a city in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, and if the baby girl is born it will make her four years older than the current record holder.
Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara is the oldest verified mother in the world. She was aged 66 years and 358 days when she gave birth to twin baby boys, Christian and Pau, in December 2006. They were delivered prematurely by caesarean section and weighed 3.5 lbs (1.6 kilogrammes) each.
Maria de la Luz who is now set to become the world's oldest mother has shown the media ultrasound scans which she says confirm she is six months pregnant with a baby girl. She said: "They told me it is a girl. Look, you can see her little face."
The woman, who did not reveal any details of the pregnancy including whether she had had IVF treatment or similar, says she first suspected she was pregnant three months ago.
She told reporters: "My legs hurt and I was vomiting and felt dizzy. Now they have done around 10 ultrasounds in a private clinic and in the (public) social security hospital. The doctors could not believe it."
Omkari Panwar from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, gave birth to twins in 2008 but her claim to have been 70 was not provable. Likewise there were also other women that were older when they had children and claimed to be of a similar age but again none of the ages have been verified.
Maria told reporters that some of her children were not happy with the news that she was pregnant, saying they told her she was too old for "those things".
She has an appointment with a gynaecologist on 18th July and she says she is expecting to have a caesarean-delivery because of her age.
Bousada de Lara admitted that she had lied to physicians about her age when seeking in vitro fertili
