According to the flight track it appears the baby was born closer to 38,000 than 30,000 feet.

wonder how it would show on the birth certificate as place of birth??

Boeing 737? That’s a cool story… In some ways…

A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, flight WN-441 from Chicago Midway,IL to Salt Lake City,UT (USA), was enroute at FL380 about 130nm north of Denver,CO when an expectant mother went into labour and delivered a baby boy with the assistance of a doctor on board and cabin crew, while the flight crew diverted to Denver. Cabin crew announced on the PA, that they just “boarded” a new passenger. The airplane landed safely about 20 minutes later, mother and boy were taken to a local hospital and are doing fine.

The airplane reached Salt Lake City with a delay of 90 minutes.
