A Christmas Day road trip from Nadi to Nayavu took an unexpected turn for Lavenia and her family when she went into labor while en route. According to a post from the Archdiocese of Suva, Lavenia began experiencing strong contractions during their holiday journey.
As luck would have it, they were passing Ra Maternity Hospital at the crucial moment when her baby was ready to be born. The hospital’s medical team acted promptly, admitting Lavenia and assisting in the delivery.
In a heartwarming turn of events, Lavenia welcomed a baby boy, becoming the first mother to deliver at Ra Maternity Hospital on Christmas Day this year. Both mother and child are reported to be in excellent health, highlighting the effectiveness and dedication of the hospital staff. The Archdiocese praised their swift response and commitment to care.
Following a brief observation period, Lavenia and her newborn son were discharged on Boxing Day and have since returned home to Nadi, marking a joyful conclusion to their extraordinary Christmas adventure. This story not only signifies a life-changing moment for the family but also reinforces the spirit of hope and new beginnings that the holiday season embodies.
