A woman who didn’t know she was pregnant gave birth in an airplane bathroom. The KLM flight took off with one number of passengers and landed with another.
Tamara boarded a KLM Royal Dutch flight from Guayaquil, Ecuador to Spain last week.
The pilot had to make a layover in Amsterdam after learning of a birth in his plane’s lavatory.
The plane landed at Schiphol Airport on Thursday.
Hospital officials later described how Tamara went to the dressing room because she was suffering from stomach pains.
Then, after a few contractions, she “suddenly” had a baby on her hands.
The woman reportedly had “no idea” she was even pregnant.
A spokesperson said: “A few hours before landing in the Netherlands, her stomach hurt and she decided to go to the toilet. To her great surprise, after two contractions, she suddenly had a baby in her hands,” reports Express.
They added, “Tamara had no idea she was pregnant and was quite taken aback by the event,” reports Express.
Several medical professionals were also present during the flight.
Tamara named her baby Maximiliano after one of the plane’s passengers who stayed by her side.
A KLM spokesman said both the mother and her new baby are “fine” now.
They added that the airline is “very grateful” to the doctors on board their flight who helped Tamara in her distress.
