SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Amid the empty shelves and store closures, a Springfield, Missouri, Walmart had its own commotion going Wednesday afternoon.
A baby was born in the toilet paper aisle.
“We were like, oh my gosh, is this actually going to happen,” said store manager Jessica Hinkle.
Hinkle said the woman warned store associates that her last child came in just 30 minutes. When the woman’s water broke in the toilet paper aisle, she was prepared to go into labor right then and there.
“We were like, what do we do now?” she said. “Another lady comes around the corner and she says ‘I’m a labor nurse. Can I help?’ and we said, ‘Yes, yes please.’ She had gloves in her pocket, [and] she was ready.”
Hinkle said she grabbed a sheet and blocked the aisle to give the woman as much privacy as possible.
“Crowd control, [I’m] 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.
Springfield firefighters rushed into the store and helped deliver the baby girl.
“They’re the typical fire department that shops in our store, so they were pretty proud of themselves,” Hinkle said.
She said the entire process took about 45 minutes and customers were cheering for the woman the whole time

Was there toilet paper there?
Five times!
She should have at least waited until she got to the paper towel aisle. “Bounty...it’s the quicker picker-upper!”
Clean up in aisle eleven.
“Cleanup on aisle number 9.”
“Congratulations, you are now a citizen of Walmart.”
Does this mean she gets a lifetime supply?
This was already posted. They named the baby “Charmin”.
some people will do ANYTHING to pull one weird trick to bypass “per person” limits on toilet paper rationed sales.
No pictures please!
IF this had happened in Michigan, the jackbooted governor would have arrested both of them during the labor.
Aside was the emptiest

Were people stepping over her to get to the toilet paper?
I hope the toilet paper is all right.
You know the poor kid will grow up with her mother telling her friends where she was born.
