Mom unexpectedly gives birth to Her Second Child in gas station bathroom during bathroom break
Sergio Mancera and Kaitlyn Fullerton tell ABC13 they were headed back home to Victoria from Houston when Kaitlyn said she felt the need to push but just thought it was Braxton hicks contractions or the urge to go the bathroom.
“We got further along the road and I felt like I needed to start pushing, well I thought I needed to go to the bathroom,” she said.
Sergio pulled over to a gas station in Beasley, Texas and waited for Kaitlyn to go use the bathroom. But never did either one of them imagine that Kaitlyn’s quick trip to the bathroom meant she would end up giving birth to her second baby.
Little did she know her baby was ready to arrive and she’d have to manage the whole experience alone.
It was then that she said she started feeling contractions and gave birth right there in the bathroom stall
A few moments later, women in the other stalls asked Kaitlyn if she was OK and were shocked by what they saw. Kaitlyn said she asked one of the women to go get her husband and inform him of what had happened.
Fullerton’s husband, Sergio Mancera, says he was awestruck by the entire incident but rushed into the bathroom when he heard what happened.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said.
“I looked up, saw a woman saying ‘hey your wife just gave birth.’ I was like ‘what?’” Mancera said.
He began taking video after little Callihan, weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces, was born on Sunday in the Pilot Gas Station bathroom.
“It’s crazy to think she gave birth in the restroom,” Mancera said. “Once I got to the restroom she was over there all happy, smiling at me like nothing happened”.
“Afterwards I didn’t feel any pain at all except I still felt the contractions because I didn’t deliver my placenta until I got to the hospital,” Fullerton said smiling. “That’s when it started to hurt. Delivering the placenta hurt more than delivering the baby.”
“It’s just really a miracle. Yeah, it was like a miracle,” the couple added. “It’s like God was right there really watching over us.”
Paramedics arrived after the 22-year-old delivered the baby by herself there in the gas station restroom, earning her the name Superwoman by her husband.
“She’s a strong one right there. She did a great job,” Mancera said while hugging his wife.
The couple says the prayer not to deliver in a gas station stall may not have been answered but their request for two healthy little boys has been with 3-year-old Nikolai and now less than a week old Callihan.
Kaitlyn and her baby were eventually taken to Sugar Land hospital for care and both are expected to be OK.
More than 10 million people have viewed their video on social media of this mom in a gas station bathroom giving birth. Both mom and baby were released from the hospital yesterday and are healthy at home.
