An Orem woman had the surprise of her life while flying from Salt Lake City to Hawaii for a family vacation.
On April 28, thousands of feet above the Pacific Ocean, 38-year-old Lavinia “Lavi” Mounga gave birth to a baby boy.
And she had no idea she was even pregnant.
“It was a shock to myself and everybody on the plane,” Mounga said with a laugh.
Mounga said she experienced the “weirdest pain” and went to the bathroom and passed out only to wake up to see a baby in her arms.
“I open my eyes and I look down and I really don’t know what I saw, but I put my hand down and I picked it up and it was a baby,” she said.
