A woman in Zutphen was enjoying her routine sunbed tanning when she suddenly gave birth — without knowing she was even pregnant in the first place.
Using sunbeds while pregnant is not allowed, so she had no idea she would be leaving the salon with a newborn daughter in her arms.
Unexpected UV delivery
The owner of the tanning studio, Fokko Beuker, was stunned (to say the least).
He tells that the woman called for help several times, and he immediately called 112 before grabbing towels and making space for first responders.
Beuker witnessed the entire birth, reporting that the baby “didn’t make a sound, but she was breathing. The umbilical cord was fortunately not around her neck.”
Emergency services arrived too late
Although Beuker quickly jumped to action — the baby had places to be. She arrived in ten minutes, long before the emergency services even got there. 🏃🏻♀️💨
Once help did arrive, they were very 貹.
The midwife was accompanied by an ambulance and trauma helicopter with a medical team.
Thankfully, both the mother and baby were healthy but were taken to the hospital just to be safe.
