Mile High Baby

A 30 year old woman believed to have been travelling from Samoa to Auckland secretly gave birth in an aeroplane toilet! Worse still, she abandoned the new born baby inside a bin in the cubicle.

Airline, Pacific Blue said the baby was discovered an hour after the flight landed when a member of staff was cleaning the toilet.

It’s amazing that she got away with it while still on the plane. I mean the pain of contractions is so intense, it’s like a horse/elephant/grizzly bear kicking you in the stomach wearing steel toe capped boots with six inch nails sticking out of them, approximately every six minutes; so for her not to break into a sweat or not even scream out loud is amazing.

Can you imagine the commotion that must have been going on in that tiny little cubicle! First of all, she was alone in there (I presume). She must have been in immense pain but she managed to keep quiet. Then there’s the baby’s cry when it was born. Did she go into the toilet with a pair of scissors to cut the umbilical cord? Did she even know she was about to give birth?

She must have created an almighty mess with all the water from the amniotic fluid, the after birth and the blood. I just can’t imagine the scene in that loo. Then she put the new born baby in a bin! A poor little defenceless new born baby in the dust bin! I guess not all women are hardwired to feel the maternal instinct wash over them when they give birth. But to throw away her own flesh and blood! Jesus, you have to be suffering from a serious condition to be able to walk away from the dust bin that you’ve just put your baby in. Then she went back and sat down in her aeroplane seat like nothing happened.

She must have been so vexed when officials tracked her down; after she went to all that trouble of giving birth in silence. She must have been secretly rubbing her hands together at the thought of getting away with it; but apparently, she was identified once she’d disembarked the plane because she had blood on her clothes.
She was taken by police to a hospital in Auckland, New Zealand, where she underwent surgery and was reunited with her baby. Unfortunately for the new mother, the hospital handed her the one thing she thought she left up in the sky.

Her baby – who is alive – is reported to be doing well!
