Upstate NY woman, 59, gives birth to first child: 'It's exciting to have a baby'

[TexasTowelie]

NISKAYUNA -- Akosua Budu Amoako, 59, gave birth Thursday to a 7-pound, 4-ounce boy via cesarean section. It is the first child for Budu and her husband, Isaiah Somuah Anim, also 59.

Dr. Khushru Irani delivered the full-term baby at Bellevue Woman's Center in Niskayuna. Mother and child are doing well.

Budu is among the oldest New York residents ever to give birth, but setting a record was not her goal; she wanted to have a child. She and her husband have been married for 38 years and tried unsuccessfully for decades to have a baby.

"It's a good feeling to be a mother," Budu said. "It's a stage in the life of a woman, and it's exciting to have a baby."
