Restaurant turns into delivery room after woman goes into labour

Police in California helped a woman give birth to a baby boy in McDonald’s after she went into labour at the restaurant. The restaurant was turned into a makeshift delivery room as there was no time to take her to the hospital.

The City of Madera Police Department shared a picture on Facebook of their officer holding the new born baby. “It’s not every day you get to help deliver a newborn baby at McDonald’s,” read the caption of the post.

"There was no time to transport the mother as the baby was being delivered. The great paramedics delivered a healthy baby boy. The mother and the baby were transported to the hospital and they are both doing well," adds the post. 

The post, which has been shared over 800 times, has garnered a lot of appreciation online. While many lauded the paramedics and the officer for the smooth and successful delivery, others congratulated the new mother.
