NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KARK) — An all-you-can-eat buffet turned into an all-out surprise when one Mississippi woman — who didn’t know she was pregnant — gave birth at the Golden Corral in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
The new mom said she didn’t know she was pregnant until it was time to deliver in the restaurant bathroom.
“I’m still in shock,” Tayvia Woodfork, the mother of Tamaar Kylon Corral Woodfork, said.
Woodfork had experienced a rare case of cryptic pregnancy, which describes a pregnancy that remains unknown to the (unexpecting) mother for a significant portion of the term, according to the American Pregnancy Association.
On the day baby Tamaar was born, his mother Tayvia and his grandmother Tameka, along with their family, stopped at the buffet for a bite on their way home to Mississippi.
“I ain’t make it to the table,” Woodfork said.
Instead, Tayvia, in pain, headed straight to the bathroom. Tameka said she initially thought her daughter was just experiencing cramps — not contractions.
Tayvia’s sister went to the bathroom to check on her, where she made a shocking discovery.
“She said, ‘I ain’t never seen nothing like it. It’s a baby!’” Tameka remembered.
“The baby was 6 pounds. It was a full baby,” the new grandmother added.
The unimaginable experience for Tayvia also included some unimaginable pain.
“Ten out of ten,” she said, describing her level of discomfort.
After her delivery, though, Tayvia had plenty of fans among the Golden Corral’s staff and customers.
“They were clapping when she came out on the stretcher,” Tameka said.
Tamaar’s surprising birth has also made him something of a superstar, his grandmother said.
“Everybody wants to see the Golden Corral baby,” according to Tameka.
In a Facebook post, Golden Corral said baby Tamaar is the record holder for the youngest Golden Corral fan.
“And don’t worry, we’ll make sure Mom is well taken care of with Golden Corral gift cards … while she’s taking care of you,” the restaurant wrote.
Gee, what was the proud father's reaction? No mention in the story about him...
Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!
“I ain’t make it to the table.”
The NEA should be so proud.
Father? I think they’ll let us know how he feels if and when they find out who he is. It could take awhile.
Skinny girl did not recognize her baby bump or her lack of periods? Those bright genes are now being carried forward.
Seriously??? She didn't know???? How the hell does that happen? How do you not know??? How much did the baby weigh at birth?? She didn't know she was pregnant?? I'm dumbfounded.
Just think, in 20 years or so that picture can include four or even five generations of dependents eating at Golden Corral. First diaper changing stations then birthing rooms and what next?
It happens, not often but it does happen.

Life writes itself
And I was betting she was either really heavy or really skinny.
No one could be so oblivious that they wouldn’t notice they are about to deliver a baby!
This is just silly...
Maybe we should be thankful the kid is healthy, instead of insulting his family..
It was a rockabyebaby...
so shocked ‘taamar’ didnt know.
Mom is kind of skinny. I was expecting a land whale; sometimes obesity hides a pregnancy.
I’m guessing it has an all you can eat buffet.
Tamar should be a girl’s name. There are two Tamars in the Bible—the daughter-in-law of Judah who gets pregnant by him after disguising herself as a prostitute, and a sister of Absalom who is raped by her half-brother Amnon.
You have to be in very deep denial to not *know* you are pregnant.
No, she didn't not know. She didn't admit it.
Are those strategically ripped up denim jeans still a thing?
I see Little Sister is sporting her rips.
Much more importantly, it looks like this Baby will be wanted and cared for by the Mom. Win for Baby T.!
