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.
Typical
Well she is eating at Golden Corral, one flagship of the all you can eat fried stuff.
Daddy gubmint is on the birth certificate and all da ebts be coming.

I noticed the t-shirt with the old food stamp picture on it.
Oh, that is a problem.

The group stopped at a Golden Corral for “a bite to eat”. That’s part of the story.
The ghetto scrabble name part still surprises me. Aren’t the players required to use all 7 letters in the tray? Or is that just for bonus points?
My sister-in-law told me about it years later (we hadn't been speaking for many years) and the total surprise and needing to get diapers and everything else under the sun needed for a newborn. The way she told it was very hilarious being totally unprepared for a newborn and having no idea her daughter was pregnant.
The "baby" is 18 now and will be a senior in high school this fall. No father in the picture, didn't get that part of the story but assume he was a kid himself and she had no interest in marrying him. She is married now to a great guy who adores her son.
I had all the same questions you listed, couldn't imagine how she couldn't have known but she didn't. In her case she is and was a very heavy girl as to any visible evidence but seeing the one in this story being thin, guess that didn't matter. When I first heard about it through the family grapevine I wondered if the baby was named Appendix!
What father?... Oh, you mean the sperm guy who had his jollies and moved on?
And happy she didn’t throw it in the trash.
They were too busy waiting in line for more crab legs to notice the onset of labor.
Trying to sneak in more family members for the All-You-Can-Eat.
Who’s the baby daddy?
5.56mm
Is Maury still on?
Says she "Started from the Bottom."
Doesn't say where she is now.
