TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Nurses Help Woman Who Went Into Labor Mid-Flight

You’ve probably heard stories about babies being born in cars, elevators, even at people’s homes, but how about an airplane?!

A pregnant woman who was on a flight to Hawaii last Wednesday went into labor in the airplane bathroom mid-flight. Luckily everything went fine because it turns out there were three nurses, a physician assistant, and a doctor all on board the plane! Talk about being in the right place at the right time. I feel like they should take their kid to Hawaii on family vacations forever now.

Another fun fact about it is that he made the toppings tomato(red), mozzarella (white) and basil (green), to represent all the colors of its national flag. How cool is that?!
