Walmart Holds Baby Shower For Infant Delivered In Checkout Line
PROVO, Utah (AP) - A Utah woman who gave birth while in a Walmart checkout line got an impromptu baby shower at the store.
The Provo Daily Herald reports (http://bit.ly/2eyNMLI ) employees gave mother Cecelia Rivas baby clothes, a stroller, a car seat and plenty of diapers for her son Matias on Wednesday.
Store manager Dustin Haight says the mother and baby are like family now.
Rivas says she'd felt labor pains early the morning of Oct. 9 and went to the store for a few things before going to the hospital, but when her water broke in line she knew she was going to give birth in the store.
"I was really surprised and really scared," Rivas said. "But they told me not to worry, and then, my baby was there on my chest."
This is Rivas's third child; she has a 5-year-old daughter and a 15-month-old son.
