PROVO, Utah (AP) — A Utah woman who gave birth while in a Wal-Mart checkout line got an impromptu baby shower at the store.

[The Provo Daily Herald](<http://bit.ly/2eyNMLI >) reports employees gave mother Cecelia Rivas baby clothes, a stroller, a car seat and plenty of diapers for her son Matias on Wednesday.

Store manager Dustin Haight said the mother and baby are like family now.

Rivas said she'd felt labor pains early the morning of Oct. 9 and went to the store for a few things before going to the hospital. But when her water broke in line she knew she was going to give birth in the store.

She said she was surprised and scared, but things went well and her third child is now at home.
