The incident occurred during a flight to Honolulu, when the newborn Raymond Mounga’s mother Lavinia went into labour in the washroom, as reported by KHON2. Mounga didn’t even know she was pregnant, so the arrival of the baby who was born at 29 weeks instead of 40 weeks, was a surprise for everyone on board. The doctor also said that since the mother had delivered the baby prematurely, there was no equipment on the plane that could be used to keep him warm. Using some resourceful thinking the four medical staff made baby warmers from bottles using a microwave. Another important part of keeping the baby healthy and alive – monitoring his vitals, was done by using an Apple Watch to keep an eye on his heart rate, the doctor had stated.
