Giving birth on Mother's Day is an added joy for any expecting mother, but what happened to one woman this year is so shocking, it's almost hard to believe it's true!
We've heard about some pretty incredible birth stories here at LittleThings, like the miracle this new mother experienced when she gave birth to identical triplets, two who were conjoined. However, I can't ever remember anything as crazy as what happened to new mother 23-year-old Ada Guan this past Mother's Day.
I don't know anyone who wouldn't be really uncomfortable on a 10-hour flight across the world, so you can only imagine how awful that would be if you aren't feeling 100%. That's the British Columbia woman assumed she was just experiencing air sickness on her long flight from Calgary to visit family in Tokyo, Japan. Accompanied by her boyfriend, Wesley Branch, the woman worried Air Canada attendees when she started to experience intense abdomen pain somewhere over Russia.
She was moved to first class and told CBC News, "I could feel something wanting to come out. So, that was probably the moment I knew." Branch told CBC his girlfriend said, "Babe, something just fell out of me, can you check?" before passing out at the sight of her newborn baby girl.
If you've ever been pregnant, you know it's hard to understand how anyone could miss the telltale signs, like this mother who gave birth in a toilet bowl did. Guan claims she just thought she had gained a little weight and although she had taken a pregnancy test months back, it came out negative.
By some miracle, the tiny unexpected arrival, named Chloe, was born healthy, thanks to help from a doctor on the flight.
