JAMES ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina woman who did not know she was pregnant has given birth inside a grocery store.

James Island Fire Chief Chris Seabolt says firefighters responded to a Bi-Lo supermarket about lunchtime Thursday. The woman had already given birth inside the store’s restroom.

Seabolt said the mother and child were taken to a hospital and both appear to be fine.

He didn’t have any more details, although a store employee said the woman worked at the supermarket and did not know she was pregnant.
