A married woman has revealed she has never had sex with her husband - because of a medical condition.
Revati Bordawekar, of India, suffers from vaginismus, which makes her vagina clench whenever she tries to insert anything.
However, the 30-year-old virgin last month gave birth to Eva after getting pregnant through IVF. She managed to push her out naturally.
And, after giving now she hopes fully penetrative sex will no longer be an obstacle.

Mrs Bordawekar, a digital marketer, said: 'We haven't tried sex yet, but I'm confident that it won't be a barrier anymore.'
She believes this is possible because she was able to push a six pound baby out of her vagina.
The last time Mrs Bordawekar attempted to have sex with her husband Chinmay was before their IVF, in early 2018.
She revealed they were able to get in there 'about halfway'. However, she said it was 'super uncomfortable' and she was desperate for it to be over.
Speaking about when she first realised something was wrong, Mrs Bordawekar said: 'I first tried a tampon at the age of 22 and I kept trying but anticipated a lot of pain already.
'My hands started to shiver, and the vaginal opening clenched each time I tried to get the tampon around the area. That was my first cue.
'Through my twenties, I tried to feel around the area but was never able to even touch beyond the labia.
'At that point I didn't feel comfortable enough to seek medical attention or even talk about what I was going through.

'Though I had doubts about me not being able to have intercourse, I just decided to leave it to the future and see how things went.'
Mrs Bordawekar, from Ahmednagar, first met her husband through online dating in 2013. He was living in the US at the time but later moved to India.
It was only on her wedding night, aged 25, she told her husband of her condition, which strikes around one per cent of women to some degree.
After opening up to him about her 'deep fear' of hurting her intimate area, he was accepting and said they should 'spend time getting to know each other'.
Mrs Bordawekar assumed the opening was small and unable to accommodate any objects in her vagina.
She eventually stumbled upon vaginismus while Googling her symptoms and was overjoyed that there was a cure.
Mrs Bordawekar was told to try foreplay, drink wine and even use a numbing cream to help her consumate her marriage. However, none of the tips worked.

Doctors surgically cut Mrs Bordawekar's hymen and dilated her, in hopes she would overcome the condition. It also failed to help.
Desperate to have children, the couple came across various methods, including using a syringe to insert his semen as far as possible into her vagina.
They eventually came across IVF, which is intrusive, and were successful on their second cycle, in May 2018.
