A mother has admitted that after having a surprise baby in the back of a cab, she received a cleaning bill.
According to The Sun, 26-year-old Farah Cacanindin gave birth while traveling to a Buckinghamshire hospital for a normal checkup.
Only 13 minutes into the trip, things took a dramatic change when her daughter Naia was born.
In order to inform the doctors of Farah’s arrival, the taxi driver called ahead as he rushed to Stoke Mandeville Hospital at 40mph.
In order to be examined by nurses, little Naia ultimately arrived at the hospital wrapped in her mother’s jacket.
When the hospital staff was satisfied that the mother and child were fine, they were released to go home, but Farah later discovered she had a sizable debt from the taxi company.
She disclosed that in addition to the £60 cleaning cost, she had also been charged £30 for the actual trip.
In an interview with The Sun, Farah, a mother of 15-month-old Kairo, said, « I appreciate that I did make a mess, but it’s a bit cheeky to have charged me.
The labor was the fastest ever. Five minutes into the journey, my period started.
I told the driver to keep going since I thought I would there before the baby was born when he asked whether I wanted him to pull over.
The new mother continued by calling the entire event « surreal, » adding, « I didn’t have a chance to feel terrified. »
The taxi company is right down our road, which is funny. Right outside my house, I can see the van where I gave delivery.
