EMTs help deliver baby in Walmart

The 37-year-old woman was shopping when she unexpectedly went into labor

Huffington Post

BANKS COUNTY, Ga. — There's a whole website dedicated to the, shall we say, stranger things people have seen at Walmart. But hopefully no shoppers at a Georgia location of the retail giant snapped any pictures of this.

According to MyFoxAtlanta, a 37-year-old woman gave birth to a baby boy at her local Walmart in Banks County, GA on Wednesday.

The woman, who was 8 months pregnant, was shopping when she went into labor. By the time first responders arrived, she'd already delivered her son in the store bathroom. "All we had to do was cut the umbilical cord," EMT Scotty Mathis told the news station. He was the first baby born in the county.
