I must stop at this point and add that airlines don't want/allow you to fly once you reach a certain stage of pregnancy and I KNOW they would not allow a woman in labor to fly. This of course involved deception on her part because she got on the plane and did not tell anyone she was in labor. Going back to the story, she had to fly eight hours to reach Alaska where she then had to drive another 45 minutes to reach the hospital where she gave birth. Now I know she prides herself on being heroic, but is that really even plausible or realistic or RESPONSIBLE behavior for someone with a high risk pregnancy? Or is it the behavior of someone who probably isn't pregnant, but is rushing home where her pregnant daughter is about to give birth?

I hadn't heard the story around that baby's birth. I also had written off all the rumors of it being the daughter's baby figuring they were just trying to make Palin look bad. Labor pains tend to be painful right? Even if it is the fifth kid. I mean I couldn't have been pleasant. I would assume there would be some sign of distress if she was in labor.
