Mom delivers baby in Schaumburg stairwell

A Schaumburg woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy in a stairwell of a luxury condo building Friday morning, authorities said. The woman delivered before Elk Grove Village paramedics arrived, just after 8 a.m., to the building on the 0-100 block of Kristin Drive, Schaumburg police Lt. Shawn Green said. Schaumburg ambulances were unable to respond because they were at the apartment fire at the Savannah Trace complex, several miles away. Mom and baby were taken to St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, where "they are doing just fine," Green said.
