Never happened to me. I just waddled on and off planes as if I were smuggling bowling balls.

It was a SWA flight from Philadelphia to Orlando, Florida.

Obviously wanted Florida residency status for baby so they could get discount WDW tickets./s

No child of yours would be so ill mannered as to try to arrive mid-flight. :)

She could have been in labor.. or her labor was short. My shortest labor was one hour.

One glass of wine is not going to hurt an 8 month fetus.

My wife delivered our third child within 10 minutes of our arrival at the hospital while I was busy talking to the folks in Admissions. Since I had driven them to the hospital my first reaction was, “If I had an inkling it was so close I would have run a few red lights.” And this was two weeks before she was due.

When I was pregnant the first time, in Switzerland, my doc told me to cut down on alcohol to one or two glasses of wine only at dinner. (I happened not to drink at all anyway.) That was in the 90s when over here doctors were saying pregnant women shouldn’t even look at a bottle.

I thought airlines refused to fly anyone that pregnant.

For that very reason.

She must have lied to them.
