Another flight , another woman goes into labor . Delta Air Lines Flight 2566 from San Francisco to Minneapolis diverted to Salt Lake City on Wednesday when a pregnant passenger went into labor during the flight . A pediatrician on board helped the passenger until the flight landed at about 9:45 a.m. , according to CNN affiliate KUTV . The passenger was taken by the local fire department to the University of Utah Hospital , where she gave birth to a baby boy . Both the mother and baby are in good condition , the hospital said . `` I was getting contractions about every minute almost immediately , which was really scary ... '' mother Allison Peery told CNN affiliate KTVX on Thursday . The pediatrician was a big help , she said , as were the flight attendants . `` They were great , like helping me breathe . Because we had n't done our classes yet , so we were really kind of out of our element , '' Peery said of her and her husband , Zach . `` There were about four ( other people ) there all breathing with me . '' The 4-pound , 6-ounce child , named Karl William Peery , is fine . `` He 's doing so well and he 's so cute , '' said Allison Peery , whose family lives in Wisconsin . It 's not the first time this month that a pregnant passenger has diverted a flight . On December 9 , a baby was born on Southwest Airlines Flight 623 shortly after its 6:24 a.m. takeoff . The aircraft departed from San Francisco bound for Phoenix , but diverted to Los Angeles International Airport at about 7:30 a.m. A nurse and doctor on board assisted with the delivery . `` It was amazing , '' a flight attendant said in a video posted on the airline 's website . `` All the passengers were awesome . Everybody was clapping . '' The plane was met by a Los Angeles Fire Department emergency response team upon landing , according to LAX spokeswoman Katherine Alvarado . After a two-and-a-half hour delay , the 111 other passengers aboard Flight 623 were able to continue their journey to Phoenix aboard a new aircraft . Airline restrictions for pregnant passengers vary . Delta does n't restrict the travel of pregnant passengers , but the airline does offer guidance about change fees on its website . `` Ticket change fees and penalties can not be waived for pregnancy . '' For any passenger traveling after her eighth month , `` it 's a good idea to check with your doctor to be sure travel is not restricted . '' Southwest advises that pregnant women consult with their doctors before traveling by air , and the airline recommends not traveling after the 38th week of pregnancy . Barring medical complications , the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that pregnant women can fly safely just like the general population . However , `` air travel is not recommended at any time during pregnancy for women who have medical or obstetric conditions that may be exacerbated by flight or that could require emergency care .
