A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure, but it...: Won't happen, because a woman with normal self-awareness is not going to hop onto a domestic flight while contracting. That means she would have to start labor inflight. If her water breaks on the plane seat, the flight attendants will hopefully let a pilot know to divert to the nearest airport, which should be about 15 minutes to an hour away in the US. (Theoretically she could deliver inflight.)
