I bet the father is frantic with worry  

Quote:
A mother and her baby were airlifted from a ferry off the Dorset coast after the woman gave birth prematurely.

The Solent coastguard helicopter was alerted by coastguards at Brixham, Devon, when the Pride of Bilbao was about 30 miles from Portland Bill.
The alarm was raised by the ship's doctor at about 0400 BST.

The 38-year-old, from Bognor Regis, West Sussex, was taken to Exeter airport before being transferred to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.

The ferry was making its way from Portsmouth, Hampshire, to Bilbao, northern Spain.

The coastguard helicopter from Lee-on-Solent winched the woman and child from the vessel. The baby girl, who had breathing difficulties at birth, is now in intensive care.

The woman, who was on holiday with her family, gave birth 12 weeks early. Her husband, who was also on the ship, will have to remain onboard until it reaches Spain at 0700 BST Monday.

Awful situation but it looks like the emergency services are doing the very best they can - not sure we all appreciate just how brilliant they are until times like this !
