Doctor Delivers Baby 35,000 Feet In The Air

in #life7 years ago

We have all heard stories of women giving birth in random places like highways, bathroom stalls, but this is my first time coming across a story like this. Not saying it hasn't happened before, but it is a first for me.

Dr. Sij Hemal, a second-year urology resident delivered a baby 35,000 feet in the air when a woman went into labor on a flight from Paris to New York.

I have read cases where women have delivered without knowing they were actually giving birth. Instances where they were actually in the bathroom at times.

I know nothing of how it must feel or what it must be like, but I do know that women always say it is the most beautiful experience they have gone through. Besides the excruciating pain they must endure.

I can only imagine this to be a wonderful experience for all members on the plane who helped. Just looking at picture above you can tell she is somewhat fatigued, but displaying a smile that is worth a thousand words.

Down below is a little clip from CNN with more to the happy ending flight from Paris to New York.
