Good freaking grief. How can you not KNOW you are pregnant?
KOIN News 6 for Local News Weather and Sports, Portland, OR; KOIN.com – Baby Born At McDonald’s
A baby was born in a McDonald’s restroom in Vancouver, and the mother didn’t even know she was pregnant.
It was evening shift last Friday at the fast-food restaurant at State Route 500 and Gher Road when employee Danille Miller suddenly felt ill and ran for the bathroom. Her 16-year-old co-worker, Jaynae Herrera, followed.
“I was like are you pregnant?” Herrera asked. “Because she was in the bathroom, and I’m like, are you pregnant? She says, I don’t think so. A couple minutes later, she says the baby is coming out, and that’s when I started freaking out.”
Herrera, with the assistance of a 911 dispatcher, helped her deliver baby Austin Laddusaw, and both mother and baby are fine.

How can she not know?? It is more common than people realize . Stress can cause the baby not to move very much ,which Danille has been under for several months . She is a single mother of 4 now . She gets no help from the father and working at McDonalds she has a hard time making ends meet . She has had a period each month and had taken a test that showed negative 4 months ago .
The baby Austin and Danille are doing very well . They are both at home with the other 3 kids and 8 other family members .

Wow, Gary – keep her away from that guy, huh?
Far, far away….
We are doing our best !!!
Good luck to you Gary.
I hope you all stay well and are doing well, really.
I was really feeling for the poor 16 year old having to handle a delivery and having no idea what to do. Sounds like she did a good job, though…
Jaynae was actually on the phone with 911 operator and send instructions to another co-worker helped fish the baby out of the toilet , Danille yelled for help and before anyone could get there she delivered Austin . All of the people involved did a great job and I will always be in thier debt . Danille and her three kids are now living with us and it is total chaos . We already had her sister adn her 3 kids and husband plus my cousin . So that makes 13 people living in a 1600 sqft home . Danille was evicted fromher home about a month ago and has been homeless . She failed to tell her dad . Now I am trying to find her a home but with poor credit and the eviction nobody wants to rent to her . It’s hell but we will survive !!!!!!!

Wow, Gary. You’re taking on an awful lot here. First, stop rescuing any more people! You’ve got enough on your hands….
No stray cats or dogs, either.
Then put everyone to work. Even the little ones, make them all help out. Nobody gets a free ride.
And take really good care of YOURSELF. You have a big heart, and you’re putting it out there, but you matter, too. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you.
Best of luck with all you’re handling right now.
We also have have 4 dogs , 2 horses , 4 birds and only GOD knows how many fish.
Stop, Gary, STOP!!!
Or at least get a few cats, for balance!
