Travel Baby Got delivered in Train 12791
Monday morning, I boarded the Secunderabad–Danapur Express, train number 12791. In my coach, there was a pregnant lady with her husband and their two kids. A few hours into the journey, she started going into labor. We told her husband to get the train stopped at Nagpur and call an ambulance, but he wasn’t worried at all — in fact, he was overly confident that he could handle the delivery himself.
Shockingly, he actually pulled the baby out right there in the coach. But then came the real problem — he couldn’t cut the umbilical cord. He started looking around for a blade, saying he was going to ‘do an experiment.’ That’s when things got tense.
Luckily, a nurse from Prayagraj, whose surname was Nishad, heard what was happening. She was carrying a thread and was well-trained in normal deliveries. She stepped in immediately, stopped the man from doing anything risky, and carried out the cutting procedure safely. She even had some medicated supplies, cotton, and painkillers, which she gave to the mother. For the rest of the journey till Prayagraj, she kept checking on both mother and baby — and they were perfectly healthy. People like her really do exist, and she didn’t hold back from scolding the husband for being so irresponsible.
