Pidyon haben for the son of a woman who converts to Judaism

Hi,

If a woman converts to Judaism while pregnant with her first child, and that child is a boy, then he performs pidyon haben for himself once he reaches adulthood.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Yoreh Deah 1:194 [see more there regarding what to do while he is a minor])

Have a great day,
Mordechai
