The woman who suddenly went into labor reportedly did not know she was pregnant. She was rescued by a cabin crew member and a speeding passenger who was a firefighter, reports say Helsingin Sanomat (HS).
The plane did not have to make an emergency landing. The birth took place about an hour before landing at Charles-de-Gaulle airport in Paris, confirmed the airline Finnair.
One of the passengers on the nearly full plane tells HS that the birth appeared to have gone well under the circumstances. The new mother and newborn baby were taken care of by an ambulance upon arrival.
