61-year-old woman defies odds to give birth to first child

A 61-year-old woman, identified as Doris, has defied the odds by giving birth to her first child at a private hospital in the Greater Accra Region.

In a widely circulated video on social media, Doris was seen lying on a hospital bed with an intravenous drip after delivering her baby while interacting with a person behind the camera, believed to be a nurse.

In the video, she is heard saying, “You know, God hid me. There was a time when Dr Davis said he could not find the pregnancy but my relationship nurse said God was keeping it. For nine months, I did not drive and even people in my area did not know I was pregnant. If God gives you direction and you believe in Him, you have to obey.”

The 61-year-old mother attributed her pregnancy to divine intervention, stating that God concealed her baby bump throughout the pregnancy.

One of the nurses at the hospital where she delivered said Doris was almost 62 years old in the video.

According to the new mother, although she owns a car, she stopped driving immediately after discovering that she was pregnant.
