‘McDelivery’: Wisconsin woman welcomes baby in McDonald’s parking lot

The news led to users giving the baby adorable nicknames like McFlurry, MickeyD's, McBaby, and Small Fry.

Analysia gave birth in the back of their SUV at 3:55 am to a healthy baby boy.

Wisconsin woman Analysia’s journey to motherhood took an unexpected detour when what she initially thought were false labour pains turned out to be the real deal. With her contractions not going away, Analysia and her husband, Daniel, embarked on a late-night drive to the hospital, leaving the warmth of their home.

Her contractions intensified, making it abundantly clear that the baby had no plans to wait for a hospital room. With the nearest hospital miles away and the situation becoming increasingly urgent, the couple made a snap decision that would become the talk of the town – they pulled into the parking lot of a McDonald’s restaurant.

“Analysia Beck, a Wisconsin mom, unexpectedly gave birth in a McDonald’s parking lot during a snowstorm. At 38 weeks pregnant, she initially dismissed contractions as false labour but soon realised her baby was coming,” reads the Instagram post shared by @pubity.
