Judith Love Cohen, an aerospace engineer who helped create the Abort-Guidance System that later rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts, went to work even on the day she was in labor and took a printout of a problem with her to the hospital. While in the hospital, she finished the problem, called her boss to say it was done, and then gave birth. The baby she delivered that day grew up to be actor Jack Black.
