Pregnant mother \u201ctraumatized\u201d after being kicked off plane for asking for more overhead space Facebook: Siobhan FosterA seven-months-pregnant mother was left \u201ctraumatized\u201d after being kicked off her flight for asking if there was any more room in the plane\u2019s overhead bins. If you\u2019ve been paying attention to the news lately, you\u2019ll know that airplanes have been rife with drama of all kinds over the past several months. From a person having diarrhea so bad that their plane was grounded to a woman going viral for claiming that one of her fellow passengers \u201cwasn\u2019t real\u201d in a shocking rant, it seems like flights can bring out the worst in us (both literally and figuratively). However, one woman\u2019s story is sending the internet for a loop after she claimed she was kicked off her flight for asking for a simple accommodation. Pregnant woman feared \u201cearly labor\u201d after being kicked off flight Siobhan Foster was seven months along when she boarded an EasyJet flight headed to Ibiza for her brother\u2019s wedding on August 19. Along with her were her husband, James Foster, and their special-needs daughter, Florence. After boarding the plane, Foster claims she asked a flight attendant if there was any more room in the overhead bins \u2014 but her response shocked her. \u201cHer reply was a sharp, \u2018Clearly not,\u2019 so I asked, \u2018Could you help me find somewhere?\u201d she wrote in a Facebook post. \u201cHer reply: \u2018You\u2019ll need to find somewhere yourself,\u2019 even though there literally was nowhere.\u201d \u201cSo I said, \u2018Can you please help me? I\u2019m heavily pregnant and my husband has our daughter.\u2019 Her response was, \u2018 You\u2019re being abusive and it\u2019s not my job to help you.\u2019\u201d Foster then claims that she and her family were asked to deboard after she was verbally abused by the flight attendant, who allegedly screamed at her, causing her to cry. After another hour, the entire plane was asked to leave \u2014 videos of which show other passengers sticking up for her. Foster stated that police were waiting for them when they returned to the airport and told the family that under no circumstances would they be allowed back on the plane, saying it was EasyJet\u2019s decision, not theirs. The mom even claimed she was so stressed out that she feared she\u2019d go into early labor. \u201cThat whole day we were in Belfast airport from 1 lunchtime to 9 that night with our child,\u201d Foster wrote. \u201cMy legs were so swollen and sore with being on them all this time. I was crying uncontrollably that this was happening to us for no reason whatsoever. I\u2019m so traumatized to the point I don\u2019t know how I\u2019ll ever fly again.\u201d Luckily, Foster was able to make it to the wedding in spite of the massive delay and \u2018traumatic\u2019 experience. This is just the latest airplane-related incident to take the net by storm after a mom demanded a passenger stop watching Game of Thrones as her child could see his screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
