A Taiwanese woman has been treated in hospital after delivering a baby mid-flight over the Pacific ocean.
The unnamed woman’s waters broke six hours into the 19-hour flight between Taiwan and Los Angeles and alerted cabin crew that she had gone into labour.
Thankfully, a doctor was on board to treat the woman and the baby was delivered without a glitch halfway through the flight.
Passenger Amira Raijput posted a video of flight attendants holding the baby in blankets moments after its arrival whilst passengers cheered and clapped.
She told ABC News: “The woman is tough as nails.
“It was super chill. People were super quiet and calm so that this woman could have a stress-free experience.”
The plane was then given permission to land in Alaska where mother and baby were taken straight to hospital.
Many mothers-to-be go against medical advice and fly to the States in their final trimester in hopes that they’ll give birth on US soil.
Raijput explained that a border agent came on board the plane after it landed in Alaska.
They told her: “He told me that this is something foreign women do, to try and deliver overseas for citizenship. This is a political issue.
"People die to come to this country.”
