Shock as woman gives birth in an ASDA car park - and she didn't even know she was pregnant

ASDA announced on Facebook that Delyth Jones, 25, gave birth in one of their supermarket car parks – and it will even be listed on the baby’s birth certificate.

Delyth, a home carer, first thought her contractions were appendicitis and had not planned to have children so soon with her husband Dean Stawman, 26.

However, after calling her mum and sister it soon became apparent that she was pregnant.

They aimed for the nearest maternity ward, but as it was 30 miles away, they decided to stop at the ASDA where her husband Dean works.

New mum Delyth said: "I've had a pain like that before and had been rushed in before, so assumed it was something similar. I phoned my mum and sister thinking it could be back so they came over to help me.

"When they got there the pain changed and the next thing I knew I was on the floor. Then half an hour later he was born."

Kate, her sister who also works at the same ASDA, said: "We rushed over to help because she wasn't feeling well and we thought it was appendicitis. At one point she said, 'I think I'm having a baby', and we laughed.

"So it was quite a shock when it turned out she was right! She really had no idea she was pregnant. She wasn't showing and didn't feel the baby move."

Delyth said that car park the birth, which was at Asda Pwllheli in Wales, is ‘fate’ due to the family connections with the ASDA.

Delyth added: "We were going through Pwllheli in the ambulance when they said we were going to have to stop.

"The community midwife was around and jumped in the ambulance at Asda and 10 minutes later he was delivered. I said to them, 'Tell me I haven't just given birth in Asda' and they said I had – and that it would be listed as his place of birth on his birth certificate.

"It must be fate that he was born at Asda with our connections there."

The baby came in at a healthy 7lbs 7oz, and the couple have decided to call him Harry.
