I wonder - and this is WILD SPECULATION of the FICTION-WRITING SORT! - if her behavior could be interpreted as an expression of a wish (maybe not a conscious wish?) that the baby would be stillborn?
But yes, what appears to be confirmable on the ever-reliable internets:
She was in Texas when she started "leaking amniotic fluid" (i.e. waters broke) before dawn. She called her doctor in Alaska. She went to give a mid-morning address at a conference of governors. At this point she was having contractions spaced 60 minutes apart. She then got on her regularly scheduled flight. Eleven hours later, the flight landed, she got out of the plane and drove to her hometown hospital, an hour away. The baby was born without complications some time after that.
It's not what you or I would do, but then you and I will never be governor of Alaska. Well, you might.
It turns out, though, that when she went to a meeting three days later at her office? She left the newborn at home, in the care of his 16-year-old sister Bristol. Okay, now, that is some seriously bad judgement there.
Or else ... hmmm .... maybe the awesome rumor isn't just a rumor after all?
