ELLEN Meets Woman Who Gave Birth on Flight to Hawaii & Healthcare Workers Who Helped

During Monday’s episode ofThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, new mom Lavinia “Lavi” Mounga of Orem, Utah reunited virtually with the group of healthcare workers who were passengers on the Delta Airlines flight from Salt Lake City to Honolulu late last month where her surprise birth took place.

“At the airport I was feeling kind of sick, just my stomach,” said Lavi. “But then got on the plane and I just couldn’t settle in to fall asleep. I got up, was having cramps, went to the restroom. I was in there for a while and my water broke. I didn’t know then, but I know now. "

“Just like the best surprise and shock of my life,” the new mom told DeGeneres, 63.

Newborn baby Raymond Mounga has some new aunties and an uncle for life, according to mom Lavinia “Lavi” Mounga, who unexpectedly delivered Raymond on a Delta Airlines flight from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Honolulu on Wednesday, April 28

But luckily for Lavi, her unconventional childbirth was made a lot easier thanks to the five onboard medical professionals: Dr. Dale Glenn, a family medicine physician with Hawaii Pacific Health, his daughter Lindsay, a physician’s assistant, and NICU nurses Lani Bamfield, Amanda Beeding and Mimi Ho.
