KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A Malaysian woman who gave premature birth aboard a plane said Saturday that doctors are expected to release her son from a hospital Monday or Tuesday.
Liew Siaw Hsia had been flying home Wednesday after quitting her job as a waitress when she started having labor pains. A doctor on the flight helped her deliver while the plane was still 2,000 feet (600 meters) in the air.
She had been 27 weeks pregnant, 11 weeks short of the full term.
Liew told The Associated Press that doctors at a hospital outside Kuala Lumpur have told her they do not expect any health complications and she can take the baby home Monday or Tuesday. She said her boy's current weight was about 7 pounds (3.2 kilograms).
