England - A pregnant mother went shopping at a Tesco supermarket with her two children and left with an extra mouth to feed after giving birth in the store.
Chanelle Mackay, 25, went into labour two weeks early and supermarket staff helped deliver 6lb 6oz Demi just 50 minutes later.
Stunned Chanelle said: "I never dreamed I'd be leaving holding my new-born baby girl in my arms."
Her contractions began as she was about to leave the shop with Alfie, four, and 15-month-old Frankie.
Produce manager Natasha Hunt relayed phone instructions from paramedics as counters team leader Rachel Wright delivered Demi.
Rachel called it "the most wonderful experience ever".
Chanelle, who returned yesterday to thank the staff at the store in Rainham, Essex, UK said Rachel was her "guardian angel" .
She added: "Without the Tesco staff, I don't know what I would have done."
