Channel 12 News reported an interesting and touching story about a 28-year-old woman who gave birth at a Wallkill, New York Wal-Mart on March 15 around 8 p.m.
The baby wasn't due for another couple of days when Nathalie Saona and her sister went shopping for baby clothes. They had no idea that they would leave the store with a baby girl.
Saona felt the need to push while she was shopping. A store manager saw the distress going on with Saona. He suggested she go to the pharmacy department and lie down on the bench that is there for people to wait for their prescriptions to be filled. Wal-Mart employees and other shoppers helped deliver the baby before the paramedics arrived.
The 6-pound, 6-ounce baby girl arrived healthy. Saona credited the Wal-Mart store employees and shoppers for helping to deliver little Kourtney.
Shoppers and employees at Wal-Mart are being hailed as heroes after they immediately started bringing pillows, towels and blankets and helped deliver a baby girl.
Emergency officials say Saona and her newborn were taken to Orange Regional Medical Center where they are doing fine
Saona says the baby wasn't due until March 17. Then she would have been a St. Patrick's Day baby. Instead, Saona's sister teased the new mother by saying she has a "Wal-Mart baby."
