After Decades Of Trying, 59 Year Old Woman Gives Birth To A Healthy Baby

Never Say Never! A couple in Albany, New York, who have been married for almost 40 years, were never able to have any children, although they’ve tried many times but with no success. At the age of 59, Akosua Budu Amoako and her husband Isaiah Somuah Anim, who is also 59, probably thought that day would never come. But the couple still kept hope alive, as she began fertility treatments in hopes of becoming a mother one day. Reportedly, Akosua Budu Amoako gave birth to her first and only child last month.

Unable to conceive with her husband, the couple took part in fertility treatments and at age 59 those treatments have paid off, as reported on Abc7chicago. Amoako was able to carry her pregnancy to full term and deliver a healthy 7-pound, 4-ounce baby boy named Isaiah Somuah Anim, after his father. The child was born in Niskayuna, near Albany, on June 15th at Bellevue Woman’s Center.

Mom And Baby Doing Fine

 Dr. Khushru Irani, the delivery doctor stated on Monday, that “They’re doing super, very well,” and the happy parents “are so happy about the whole thing.” as posted by the source. Dr. Khushru Irani, who delivered the baby, told The Associated Press on Monday that the couple’s so happy about the whole thing. For 38 years Amoako and her husband have tried to have a baby naturally but eventually gave up. But last year they heard about a 60 year old woman from Ghana, which is where the couple is from, who took fertility treatments and gave birth to triplets decided along with their doctors to see if she too, could conceive through fertility treatments as posted by the source. Irani was hesitant initially, due to the complications associated with giving birth at such a late age. “Initially, when I saw her, I’m saying no, it’s not a good idea for your health to have a baby at your age,” the doctor said. “But they were very insistent and they wanted to try it out.” It cost the happy couple $20k dollars to have this child and they are not complaining about it. “We haven’t gotten much sleep, but I feel fine and I think he already knows our voices,” Budu told the Times Union.

 “And our son is born an American, and a New Yorker,” Amin said. The couple came to the United States in 2005 and are now naturalized citizens. Congrats to the proud parents
