( CNN ) About to have a baby ? Congratulations ! Now , please keep your feet on the ground . A passenger on a US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Charlotte , North Carolina , had to make a stop in Greensboro when she went into labor on Tuesday , according to CNN affiliate WXII . Thankfully , the baby , named Nylah , waited until her mother had landed to arrive on airport property . Mother and child were later transported to Women 's Hospital in Greensboro , where the hospital said both were doing well . The flight took off for Charlotte after the woman left the aircraft . There have been a couple of airline-related births recently . A child was born on Southwest Airlines Flight 623 shortly after takeoff on December 9 . The aircraft departed from San Francisco bound for Phoenix but diverted to Los Angeles International Airport . A nurse and doctor on board assisted with the delivery . On December 31 , Delta Air Lines Flight 2566 from San Francisco to Minneapolis was diverted to Salt Lake City when a passenger went into labor during the flight . The woman was taken by the local fire department to the University of Utah Hospital , where she gave birth to a boy . US Airways requires passengers with a due date within seven days of flight to provide a doctor 's certificate , dated within 72 hours of departure , `` stating that he or she has examined you and determined that you are fit to fly . '' If the mother on Tuesday 's flight had been flying American Airlines , which owns US Airways , she might not have been able to travel . American has n't created a single policy for both brands , and its policy is more restrictive . A medical certificate is required for travelers wishing to fly within four weeks of their delivery dates `` in a normal , uncomplicated pregnancy , '' according to the airline 's website . She could n't travel on domestic American flights of less than five hours within seven days before and after a the delivery date without a medical certificate and permission from the airline . Delta Air Lines does n't restrict pregnant women from flying , but the airline does n't waive ticket change fees and penalties for pregnancy . It recommends that pregnant travelers check with their doctors after the eighth month of pregnancy . Southwest Airlines recommends that female travelers consult with their doctors before traveling at any stage of pregnancy and warns specifically against air travel beginning at the 38th week of pregnancy . Southwest goes into even more detail . `` While air travel does not usually cause problems during pregnancy unless delivery is expected within 14 days or less , in some cases , traveling by air has been known to cause complications or premature labor . `` Depending on their physical condition , strength , and agility , pregnant women may , in some cases , be asked not to sit in the emergency exit row .
