Woman Gives Birth On Flight, Didn't Know She Was Pregnant
Lavinia “Lavi” Mounga had no idea a baby was coming when she went into labour on a flight from her home in Utah to Honolulu last week.
“I just didn’t know I was pregnant, and then this guy just came out of nowhere,” Mounga said during a video interview with Hawaii Pacific Health.
The baby boy, Raymond Mounga, arrived early at just 29 weeks while the mom was traveling to Hawaii for vacation with her family.
Dr. Dale Glenn, a Hawaii Pacific Health family medicine physician, along with Lani Bamfield, Amanda Beeding and Mimi Ho — neonatal intensive care unit nurses from North Kansas City Hospital — were also on the plane and helped the new mother and baby.
“Yeah, just overwhelming and just nice that there was three NICU nurses on the plane and a doctor that were able to help stabilise him and make sure that he was OK,” Mounga said.
Instead she asked Dr. Glenn, who gave his adopted children Hawaiian middle names, for a suggestion. He offered “Kaimana,” which is now one of the boy’s middle names.
The child will have to stay in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit he is full term, about another 10 weeks, Mounga said.
“The aloha spirit is definitely felt here,” she said about the care she has received in Hawaii.
“It’s very different from the mainland,” Mounga said. “It just feels comforting, and everyone is willing to help.”
