Woman delivers pre-mature baby on flight

In the rarest of occurrences, a woman gave birth to a child onboard a Los Angeles-bound China Airlines flight after she unexpectedly went into labour.

She gave birth two months early than the due date.

The doctor who tended to the pregnant mother while she was delivering the baby girl was a co-passenger who had got on the flight from Bali.

In video and pictures shared on social media one can see crew members of the flight and fellow passengers cheering the delivery of the baby onboard the China Airlines flight. 

The plane had to make an unscheduled landing in Alaska as the mother and newborn had to be shifted to a hospital.
