Kenyan Woman gives birth in a taxi, lesos used to cover the windows : A woman on Wednesday gave birth inside a taxi in Nairobiโ€™s Central Business District.

This was outside Nation Centre and members of the public quickly rushed to the scene to assist her.

A number of people surrounded the car and used lesos to cover the windows of the vehicle in a bid to block curious onlookers who were craning their necks to catch a glimpse of what was happening.

A few minutes later, medics from the nearby Meridian Medical Centre came to offer assistance after guards alerted them.

According to a colleague of the lady, she had spent the entire day at work but experienced pains later in the day.

โ€œShe told me she felt as if she was about to deliver. I was shocked and we started looking for a vehicle to take her to hospital,โ€ said the colleague.

She added that she had requested for a taxi to take them to Nairobi West Hospital but as they were near Nation Centre, her condition worsened.

โ€œWe had to stop the taxi driver and seek help,โ€ she said.

The taxi driver said he had to stop and ask for help to ensure the woman and the baby were safe.

โ€œI had to stop driving and allowed the doctors and nurses and other well-wishers to help the woman,โ€ he said.

After delivery, the woman and her newborn were attended to at Meridian Hospital before they were transferred to Nairobi West Hospital.
