Woman Is Rewarded With 1 Million Air Miles After Mom Gives Birth On Flight

Missy Berberabe Umandel was returning to her home in the Philippines from Dubai on a Cebu Pacific flight when she wrote on Facebook that her plane had to make an emergency landing about 5 hours into the flight, because a woman went into labor months before planned.

Thankfully for the woman who was having contractions near Umandel, two nurses were on board and helped to successfully deliver her baby, who Cebu Pacific said in a statement, was a little girl named Haven.

“I can’t tell for sure when she started having contractions because the majority of the passengers were asleep at that time — including myself,” Umandel told BuzzFeed News. “At about 8:40 a.m. my mother woke me up, telling me that the lady was about to give birth.”

Soon after, the flight made an emergency landing in India, where she told BuzzFeed News she and other passengers “remained there for three hours to deploy the mother, baby, and the baby’s grandmother, as well as refuel and sanitize the area of birth, before flying to Philippines.”

Umandel shared the shocking experience on Facebook, where it soon went viral.“This is something you don’t get to see everyday. It only happens in movies, and we’re lucky to witness this miracle,” Umandel wrote in the widely-shared Facebook post.

“Relatives and friends of the mother, who got hold of this viral post, thanked me for sharing it, as they didn’t know the entire story just yet, since the mother and baby were left in India,” Umandel told BuzzFeed News.

“I really don’t want to take credit for this entire story on my own, since it was the wonder woman who gave birth who should be,” Umandel said, after she was rewarded with 1,000,000 Get Go Points from the airline, which is equivalent to about a lifetime of free travel!

Cebu Pacific’s president and CEO, wrote on Facebook, “We are happy that both the mother and daughter are doing well, and would like to commend our flight and cabin crew for handling the situation with utmost professionalism and efficiency.”
