It was quite an ordeal, and
no doubt will be a story the child will hear time and again; luckily mother
and child are doing well.

The 41-year-old wife of a messenger made an unexpected delivery of her
own, giving birth to their second child in the lobby of their Soi Kophai
apartment building.
Only seven months pregnant, Nutcharin Tonongwa, 41, went into labor shortly
after midnight Feb. 7 at the TN Mansion. Husband Prasert Somphant, 43, tried
to carry her to the car and the hospital, but the baby would not wait.
Before medical help could be summoned, she’d brought 2-kilogram “Beer” into
the world.
Sawang Boriboon emergency personnel arrived to find the
baby screaming and the umbilical cord still attached. They, in turn, called
for paramedics from Banglamung Hospital, who arrived 30 minutes later to fix
everyone up.
Both mother and child were reported doing well.
