The middle of a flight is probably the worst time to give birth. This happened to a woman on her way from Taipei (Taiwan) to Bangkok (Thailand). The pilot acted quickly and helped the pregnant woman deliver her daughter at high altitude.
The incident took place last Friday. When the passenger went into labor, it quickly became clear that the child would be born during the four-hour flight. The pilot of the Airbus A320, Jakarin Sararnrakskul, left the controls to his co-pilot to assist with the birth.
The captain managed to calm the expectant mother, who subsequently gave birth to a healthy girl. “This is the first time I’ve had a baby in the 18 years I’ve been flying,” Sararnrakskul explained afterwards. The pilot is also the father of a child.
The birth will be a funny anecdote for girls
“For the rest of his life he will be able to tell everyone that he was born in the sky,” the captain is convinced that the unusual birth will be a funny anecdote for the child. “I am so proud that I was able to help him into the world.” His co-pilot and all-female crew were incredible, the captain emphasized.
Paramedics finally met the new mother and her daughter at the airport. Fortunately, the doctors found that both were doing fine. The newborn was aptly nicknamed ‘Heaven’.
