SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — During a time of panic buying and store closures amid the coronavirus pandemic, one Walmart store in Springfield had some joyful news when a woman gave birth to a baby girl in the store.
Store manager Jessica Hinkle said the woman told employees Wednesday that her water broke and she was about to go into labor in the toilet paper aisle of the store. The woman’s name was not released. Hinkle held up a sheet for privacy while a labor nurse who happened to be in the store and firefighters helped the woman deliver her baby in just 45 minutes, KYTV reported.
″ not like the best with blood so that was my job, holding the sheet and crowd control making sure that nobody invaded what privacy the poor lady still had,” Hinkle said.
