Store manager Aaron Hayes of the Tim Hortons on Tecumseh Road in Windsor near Jackson Park said a pregnant woman approached staff and told them she felt her baby coming.

“The lady said she was feeling not too well,” Hayes said.“I asked her if she wanted to take a seat, sit down. She said no. Then she started screaming and yelling. She ran to the bathroom, so we went in there.”

Staff grabbed towels and tried to make the woman comfortable. They called 911 and asked the woman to lie down.

“Then I went through the instructions from 911,” Hayes said.

With a phone in hand, Hayes struggled to calm his nerves and the screaming woman at the same time.

“It was a little bit of a shock, disbelief,” he said. “You’re at work, you don’t expect this every day. I was a little bit scared. You want to make sure the baby is safe, the mother is safe.”

Fellow Tim Hortons employee Judy Glen was there to help.

“The baby came out. We wiped the mouth. The baby was crying,” Hayes recounted.

“Then the ambulance showed up. The baby is safe and everything is OK.”
