Well I can only say thank goddess that mother was lucky enough to give birth on the plane. If she had been in hospital it would have been likely surgery as most hospitals have policies in place that state if the baby is breech, caesarean surgery should be performed.

Oh yeah and thank goddess there were no SHARP knives on that plane! rolleyes.gif

That is a great story !

What a proud OB Dr Cook must be.

My DH gets upgraded just for being in teh Qantas Club .. he's never delivered a baby but would be handy as a support person if he had to be involved lol.
