Baby born on Indigo Flight from Delhi-Bengaluru with Help of Co-passengers and the Crew:
Giving birth to the baby is a miracle itself. But this time, it happened in the mid-air.
On Wednesday evening, a woman gave birth to a baby boy during the Indigo flight from Delhi to Bengaluru.
The airlines confirmed that the baby was premature by giving the statement, “We confirm that a baby boy was delivered prematurely on Indigo Flight 6E 122 from Delhi to Bangalore.”
What Exactly Happen on the Board?
The whole story of giving birth was shared by Captain Sanjay Sharma on social media. According to the post made by Captain, the pregnant lady was not comfortable onboard. After hearing this, Captain asked if there was any doctor on board who could help the pregnant lady.
For a surprise, two doctors were available, one was hopefully gynecologist and the other was a plastic surgeon. And being a doctor, they promptly helped the pregnant women however, they were informed that expected mother had a miscarriage and she was in uttermost pain.
Truly being a god of earth, the gynecologist and crew members transformed the gallery of the flight into a makeshift labor room. Right after some minutes, the flight was filled with the screech of a newborn.
Literally, being on cloud nine, the baby and mother both were perfectly fine. Later, at the Bangaluru’s Airport, the mother and Newborn were given a gratifying welcome and taken to a nearby hospital.
The efforts of the crew and passenger were praised by the whole world.
