Dr Mona Azmy, Specialist Obstetrics & Gynaecology, NMC Royal Hospital Sharjah assisted in the birth of an Egyptian baby in a car.
An Egyptian couple in Sharjah literally had a "moving" experience as they welcomed their third baby on Sunday morning.
Zainab M, in her 30s, gave birth to a healthy 2.6kg baby girl in a moving car as her husband Mohammad drove her to NMC Royal Hospital, Sharjah, on Sunday morning.
Zainab said her contractions and pain started from 4am onwards on Sunday. However, it was only at 10am that she realised that those were labour pains and rushed to the hospital.
Dr Mona Azmy, Specialist Obstetrics & Gynaecology, NMC Royal Hospital Sharjah assisted in the birth of a healthy baby girl in the car. They were about a minute away from the hospital when the woman delivered the baby.
Advising women never to delay going to the hospital if their delivery date is around the corner and they experience pains, Dr Mona, who said she has seen several deliveries in cars, said: "I would advise not to wait for several hours when they experience such contractions as this can lead to uncomfortable incidents of delivering in the car. It can be dangerous for the mother as well as the baby as there is a danger of the baby slipping and falling on the floor which can cause head injury and trauma.“
