Although most of the times it is usually not advised by most Obstetricians for pregnant ladies to travel long distances when they are in their first and last trimester, in some occasions some ladies inevitably do choose to travel and land up in risky situations. Truly, the lady proved to be lucky that she received right treatment at a right time. Presence of an expert Doctor on board was just an additional boon.
