A Canadian woman who claims she had no idea she was pregnant delivered quite a surprise to her boyfriend and everyone on board on a flight from Calgary to Tokyo.

Ada Guan gave birth to a baby girl on Mother’s Day.

Guan said she’d had some stomach problems in recent months, but a pregnancy test and doctor’s visit had failed to detect a pregnancy.

Guan suddenly developed stomach pain during the flight, and boyfriend Wesley Branch said Guan indicated something had “fallen out of her.” He took a peek and saw a head and heard a baby’s cry.

He told Global News Canada his thought at that moment: "Oh my God, I think we have a kid."

Doctors on board the flight helped deliver the baby. Mother and child were rushed to the hospital after the flight landed, and both are reported to be doing well.

"Oh my god, I think we have a kid.'"
