Remembering now, Dr. Shailja Vallabhbhanni herself does not believe that she helped a women to give birth  on a plane flying thousands of feet above the ground.

At the time of delivery, only scissors, sanitizer and bandage were available on the plane. This is probably India's first child born in the sky.

Of course, other passengers on the plane helped when the baby was born. They provided towels, pads and diapers for

Two days ago, she helped a women to give birth on a flight from Delhi to Bengaluru. "Aircraft need to have a 'basic pregnancy kit' for such special situations," she said.

Half an hour after the flight from Delhi, it was announced on the plane that a doctor was needed. Dr. Nagaram who has been working as a plastic surgeon in Riyadh stepped forward to help.

"I got up from the back of the plane to see if she needed help," she said. The crew member told me that the seven-and-a-half-month-pregnant woman needed help.

At first, the pregnant woman said that she had a stomach ache. Shailja suspected a miscarriage. When asked if there was any bleeding from the vagina, the woman said no at first.

When a pregnant woman came out of the toilet, she saw a rush of blood. Shailja said. When she approached the pregnant woman, the baby's head had protruded slightly.

"I dissected it with scissors and cut the baby's umbilical cord and bandaged the baby," says Dr. Shailja. "Then the other passengers came forward to help with various things and I cleaned the baby and made sure the baby was safe."

According to Dr. Shailja, there were two needles (injections) available on the plane which were used on women. Later, vaginal bleeding stopped and the midwife breastfed the baby.

Dr. Shailja says, “At that time, the use of discretion was useful. I began to think about how to save the lives of babies and mothers. And I used everything available on the plane to get the baby delivered. ”

After working as a gynecologist for ten years, she later became an obstetrician. "After getting off the plane, the mother and the baby were rushed to the hospital," she said. According to the doctors involved in the treatment, both are in good health. ”
