BIZZARRE !!! Woman delivers aboard Arik plane [FULL GIST]

An Arik Air flight with over 100 passengers on its way to London Sunday had
to make an emergency landing in Palmas, Spain, as a woman went into
labour and gave birth while the aircraft was airborne.The pilot was said to
have requested the emergency landing on the advice of two doctors who
were on board.
When the passenger went into labour, the cabin crew asked that doctors on
board the flight to identify themselves. Following the announcement, two of
the passengers came forward, saying they were doctors and assisted in the
delivery of the baby.
Usually, in the few instances where women have given birth on board, the
aircraft would continue its flight to its final destination. However, the Arik
flight had to make an emergency landing following the advice of the doctors
that the woman was bleeding excessively – she was said to have
experienced excessive hemorrhaging, necessitating the emergency landing.
At the time of this report, both mother and child were said to have been
stable but were left behind in Palmas for monitoring by medical personnel,
while the flight continued on its journey to London.
The airline was trying to ascertain if the woman had presented a false
medical report from her doctor on the true duration of her pregnancy or she
had gone into premature labour while on board the flight.
Women with full term pregnancies are not allowed to travel by air, according
to International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) regulations. As such,
intending pregnant passengers are required to present medical reports
certifying that they are less than 32 weeks pregnant before they are allowed
to fly.
A source said the airline was carrying out a full-scale investigation to
ascertain the genuineness of themedical report presented by the woman.
Arik Air’s management said yesterday that if it is discovered that the woman
was given a false report to enable her fly, it would file a special complaint
against the doctor who had issued the medical report to the Nigeria Medical
Association (NMA) for endangering her life and that of the baby, as well that
of other passengers on board the flight.
