Every other day, Rihanna proves that she’s a pretty solid friend. Whether she’s standing in as a bridesmaid or planning a baby shower, the superstar comes through for her friends. And it’s good for all of us to see these signs of everyday sisterhood.
As we reported, model Slick Woods went into labor immediately after the Savage Fenty show during New York Fashion Week. And while many of us might think that this situation was unsafe or scary. But thanks to Rihanna, she had everything in place to make a smooth transition.
According to The Blast, Rihanna took extra precautions to ensure that there were provisions in place for Woods and the other pregnant model who walked the show. But sources close to the production said that Rihanna ensured Woods had personal handlers on-site to ensure that they were healthy throughout the show in case either woman went into labor.
The fashion team had medical service specialists called ParaDocs on site. Woods had a paramedic assigned to her for the night, checking for contractions and other signs of labor to ensure that mother and the baby were both safe.
Reportedly, Woods was feeling that something was different as soon as she stepped off the stage and she was rushed to Rihanna’s dressing room. Security made sure the crew and show models cleared out so that Woods could be examined.
Rihanna came to Woods’ side immediately while she was evaluated. Realizing that she was in labor, the paramedics rushed Woods into an ambulance and then they took her to the hospital.
Woods was reportedly so appreciative for the help that she reached out to the company the day after she gave birth to thank them for their help.
