Don't the airlines have rules about how late into a pregnancy a woman can fly?

ST. JOHN'S, NFLD. - A Jordanian woman and her newborn are resting in a
hospital in Newfoundland after she gave birth on an airplane flying from
Amsterdam to Chicago.

The Dutch KLM flight was diverted to St. John's early Tuesday morning after
the woman went into labour over the Atlantic Ocean.

Three doctors on the flight helped deliver the baby girl, who was born in the
airplane's pantry before they could touch down.

The new mother and baby daughter were taken to St. John's Health Sciences
Centre where they are both doing well, said a spokesperson for the airport
authority.

After a four-hour delay, the flight continued to Chicago.
