A Woman Delivered A Baby Girl At An Altitude Of 42000 Ft On Turkish Airlines Pictures Surface On Twitter

When Nafi Diaby went into labor mid-flight at an altitude of 12,800 meters, it turned into an extraordinary journey for everyone on the Turkish Airlines flight. The cabin crew quickly sprang into action to assist the 28-week pregnant Nafi Diaby as her labor pains grew stronger.

The cabin crew immediately stepped in to help Nafi Diaby and deliver her baby. The flight attendants used the plane’s available seats to make the experience as comfortable as possible. According to flight attendant Bouthayna Inanir, she initially thought Nafi was experiencing a miscarriage. However, when she saw the baby, she knew she had to help. Inanir mentioned that she had to take the baby from its mother and care for it.

The airline announced the birth on their Twitter account and posted pictures of the newborn with the flight crew. Upon arriving at Ouagadougou Airport, the mother and baby received medical attention and were both reported to be in good health.

Most airlines allow women up to 28 weeks pregnant to travel until their 36th week. According to Turkish Airlines, pregnant women can fly with a doctor’s note stating they are fit to travel. However, they cannot travel after that period, even with medical clearance.

People around the world praised the flight crew and the mother for their efforts. They also admired the baby for being born prematurely. However, some were surprised by the unusual location of the birth and wondered about the baby’s nationality.
