{{trope}}
[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: a baby is born while the mother is stuck in a stalled elevator (births in the vehicle on route to the hospital also count towards this trope). Probably the most [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment|uncomfortable of elevator moments]]. A classic [[Sitcom]] scenario, especially when the baby has to be [[Delivery Guy|delivered by a squeamish and totally unqualified male lead]]. Cue the inevitable [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
 
[[Tropes Are Flexible]]; the baby doesn't need to actually be [[Born in an Elevator]] for this trope to come into play. A taxi, a car in the middle of nowhere, or any other place where paramedics would have trouble reaching the woman in labor in time to help also qualify.
