KYIV, Sept 7 (Reuters) - The air raid alert in Kyiv was live, warning of approaching Russian jet-propelled drones, but fortunately there were no explosions nearby during the final phase of Alyona Bohatyrenko's labour.
"I gave birth during an air alert!" beamed the 32-year-old, as she lay in her hospital bed cradling her baby daughter minutes after she was born. "None of this is normal, but ... you get used to it somehow."
Doctors at Kyiv City Maternity Hospital No. 2 took a calculated risk by delivering Bohatyrenko's baby on the ward while the skies over the city were under threat.
The same was true for Yuliia Ishchuk, 26, who also gave birth there last Wednesday.
