Woman Delivers Baby On Plane from Philippines

Woman goes into labor during flight, delivers baby at 37,000 feet
Passengers on board a Korean Air flight last week were treated to a little unexpected drama: the birth of a baby boy.
A woman who was seven months pregnant went into labor midway through a 14-hour flight from the Philippines to New York City last Wednesday.
The baby boy, named Jadan, was delivered by his father and a Korean surgeon who happened to be on board. The delivery took place on the floor of the plane’s galley. Weighing in at under 3 pounds at birth, Jadan was taken to a New York hospital when the plane landed, stabilized and then moved to Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, New Jersey, the Associated Press reports.
Lourdes tells the AP that Jadan was born at 37,000 feet. Sounds like a record to me.
He is in stable condition and is expected to remain at the hospital for several weeks.
