Woman gives birth on Wizz Air flight The woman, who was said to be nine months pregnant, asked the cabin crew for assistance just minutes before landing in the Romanian capital at Otopeni aiport, the country's busiest, the European budget carrier said in a statement. The passenger was then helped in the back row of the aircraft, by a crew member and a doctor who was travelling on the same flight. The airline did not name the woman's nationality or age but said: "Mother and newborn baby were met by the airport ambulance and taken to hospital. We are very proud of our crew who handled the situation with professionalism and care. "While this mother and her newborn baby seem well, we urge all our pregnant mothers not to risk their well-being and not to conceal their pregnancy," the statement said. Passengers travelling after their 28th week of pregnancy must produce a doctor's certificate but are forbidden from travelling after their 34th week of pregnancy, the airline said. The 39-year-old felt the first contractions shortly after take-off and gave birth moments before the plane landed at Barcelona's El Prat airport after the pilot requested an emergency stop-over. By chance, one of the passengers on board the Royal Air Maroc flight was a trained midwife and assisted in the birth along with the cabin crew.
