That’s one way to do it, I suppose

October 9, 2009 by Brigitte Pellerin 3 Comments

This almost sounds like a hoax: “Miracle” newborn survives fall through toilet onto train tracks.

In what has rightly been declared a “miracle,” a newborn baby girl has survived falling onto train tracks in India after being born in the train’s lavatory, the Telegraph reports. Pregnant Rinku Debi Ray was travelling with her husband and four-year-old to her parents’ home in Bihar, where she planned to deliver her second child, when she felt sharp stomach pains. She went to the washroom to alleviate them, and suddenly gave birth. The baby fell into the lavatory bowl and through the flap onto the tracks under the speeding train. Ray ran out of the lavatory and jumped from the carriage to find the child. Her husband, who pulled the emergency cord after seeing her jump, found her by the train track cradling the newborn girl in her arm. Mother and daughter are recovering from the ordeal in hospital.

You wouldn’t want to do that on purpose.

    Eep! Glad to hear that they’re recovering though.

    And I suppose that she’ll have interesting stories to tell about how her first excursion outside of the womb went once she gets older. 🙂

    Except, what happened to the umbilical cord and placenta – did the baby take those with her too? If the story is true, would that we could all have labour like that.

    Eva, if the child hadn’t survived, no newspaper would have bothered writing about it. I expect there are quite a few births in highly unusual and dangerous circumstances – a few of them will survive.
