Indian-Origin Teacher in UK Delivers Baby in the Classroom
What happened at Manford Primary School?
An Indian-origin teacher in Britain gave birth to a baby boy inside a classroom.
The teacher at Manford Primary School, an elementary school in the UK, went into labor in the school and delivered the baby with the help of her colleagues.
How did the birth unfold?
She had wanted to go home, as she was not feeling very well. But by the time she called her husband, she had already gone into labor. Her due date was still a week away. The baby, Jonah, was out in barely twenty minutes — and the classroom was later named after him.
Still in shock and relief afterward, she said: "Everyone has seen this sort of thing on the television before, but you never dream it will happen in real life." (Reported by NDTV at the time.)
