HONOLULU - Lavinia âLaviâ Mounga had no idea a baby was coming when she went into labour on a flight from her home in Utah to Honolulu last week.
âI just didn t know I was pregnant, and then this guy just came out of nowhere,â Mounga said during a video interview with Hawaii Pacific Health.
The baby boy, Raymond Mounga, arrived early at just 29 weeks while mom was travelling to Hawaii for vacation with her family.
Dr. Dale Glenn, a Hawaii Pacific Health family medicine physician, along with Lani Bamfield, Amanda Beeding and Mimi Ho â neonatal intensive care unit nurses from North Kansas City Hospital â were also on the plane and helped the new mother and baby.

Dr. Dale Glenn, a Hawaii Pacific Health family medicine physician, along with Lani Bamfield, Amanda Beeding and Mimi Ho neonatal intensive care unit nurses from North Kansas City Hospital were also on the plane and helped the new mother and baby.
“Yeah, just overwhelming and just nice that there was three NICU nurses on the plane and a doctor that were able to help stabilize him and make sure that he was OK, Mounga said.
When deciding on a name, Mounga’s father suggested Glenn, in honor of the doctor who helped her during the flight. Names are pretty important in our culture, said Mounga, who is Tongan. I didn t really want to name him Glenn.
