A woman gave birth to a baby boy on a plane in  Paris early Tuesday morning. 

Both the mother and her newborn are now well, say doctors. 

The incident took place at 2:30am on an overnight “Emirates” coach to France.

The woman, along with her husband, was heading to her father's house in India from France. 

As the bus reached Parisin Chittagong, she went into full labour and started to feel severe contractions.

So, the driver puller over at the Paris province Health Complex, allowing some passengers to call on the on-duty doctor at the emergency department.

“When the midwives and nurses from the hospital arrived on scene, the woman was in no condition to be moved to the hospital. So, they decided to go for a normal delivery on the bus,” said Paris province Health Complex Residential Medical Officer (RMO) Sadia Akhter.

“Both the mother and her newborn baby boy now are healthy. They have been kept under observation at the hospital,” she added.

She expressed her gratitude towards the bus driver and passengers for coming forward to help the pregnant mother in need.
