A woman from Atlanta was inside a Mcdonald's bathroom when her water broke. There was no time to go to the hospital so she delivered a healthy baby girl in the fast food restaurant with the help of the Mcdonald's crew.

Alandria Worthy and her fiancé, Deandre Phillips, were on their way to the hospital while she was already in labor and scheduled to give birth anytime soon. However, she asked Phillips to pull over because she desperately needed to go to the bathroom, People reported.

He stopped at a Mcdonald's branch in Atlanta, and instead of leaving McDonald's with some McNuggets, the couple had their own "little nugget" of a baby girl, definitely for take-out.

Mcdonald's crew helped in the delivery

Worthy narrated that she went into the bathroom and her water broke immediately, and from there, everything happened so fast.

She recalled that she started screaming and the general manager of the place, Tunisia Woodward, was surprised to see a woman on the toilet, lying back, and screaming.

Woodward then told her crew that they were having a baby in the outlet that day. She notified 2 of her staff, Sha'querria Kaigler and Keisha Blue-Murray, and all 3 helped deliver the baby. Kaigler dialed 911 while Blue-Murray ran inside the bathroom to assist Woodward.

It was at this point that Phillips went inside McDonald's to check what was taking his fiancé so long, and surprisingly found her surrounded by the 3 employees. He remembered seeing her in the toilet frantically screaming, and his automatic reaction was to calm her down.

"I was like, 'Just breathe.' I got her on the floor, and I took off my clothes. The ladies at McDonald's were at her front side, holding her hands. I had her feet propped up on my knees. We told her to push three pushes. She was a fighter," Phillips declared to local news affiliate 11 Alive.

He further shared that he was on the phone with the emergency dispatch the whole time so he was getting instructions from them. He expressed gratitude that they had people to help them because if Worthy's water broke in the car during traffic, then he surely would not be able to multitask.

'Divine Intervention'

Nandi Ariyah Moremi Phillips was born 15 minutes later and after 3 pushes in the bathroom of McDonald's Atlanta, where the crew immediately gave the baby girl a "cute McDonalds-centric nickname" - Mcdonald's Little Nugget.

And, her parents are all for it!

Her father thinks that the little girl is "definitely a nugget," and it fits her so well. The grandparents love the nickname as well, Phillip stated.

Worthy described the experience "crazy," recalling how their baby just "popped out" onto her hand.

The little nugget's parents described stopping by the fast food restaurant as "divine intervention" because of the 3 women who were able to help them, according to ABC 13 Houston.

The 3 were all mothers and Woodward said that they just needed to put their heads together, and they all needed the father to catch the baby, which he did.
