Mother gives birth to baby mid-air on transatlantic United flight

A mother gave birth to a baby in mid-air on a transatlantic United flight.

It was a true mid-air miracle on Sunday -- a healthy baby boy was delivered on board a transatlantic United Airlines flight.

The mother was traveling from Accra, Ghana, to Washington, D.C., when she started having contractions. She wasn't expecting to deliver until late February, but the flight was halfway across the Atlantic when she went into labor.

Dr. Stephen Ansah-Addo, a dermatology resident at the University of Michigan, heard the overhead call for a health care professional and jumped into action.

He was joined by a nurse from Dayton, Ohio, and another United flight attendant, who is also a nurse.
