Woman who didn’t know she was pregnant gave birth at Golden Corral
Tayvia Woodfork named her surprise son Tamaar Kylon Corral Woodfork, after the buffet chain. Tayvia Woodfork, a 26-year-old woman from Tunica, Arkansas, gave birth to her first child at Golden Corral on May 4. The family had been visiting Magic Springs Theme and Water Park in Hot Springs, Ark., when Tayvia's water broke. She did not gain any weight or experience any pregnancy symptoms. The baby was born at 37 weeks. Despite the initial shock, both Tayvia and the baby were all healthy after the birth. According to the Cleveland Clinic, around 1 in 2,500 pregnancies go unnoticed until delivery, and about 1 in 475 pregnancies go undetected until 20 weeks.

The Woodfork family had an adventure-filled day at an amusement park when they sat down for a meal at a buffet restaurant. Little did they know, the day’s excitement had barely begun. Tayvia Woodfork, 26, and 10 of her family members visited Magic Springs Theme and Water Park in Hot Springs, Ark., on May 4. They decided to cap off the day with an all-you-can-eat late lunch at Golden Corral in Little Rock.
As the rest of the family was enjoying their meal, Tayvia Woodfork’s mother, Tameka Woodfork, noticed her daughter had been gone for a while. She went to check on her and brought her some ibuprofen. She found her daughter in agonizing pain.
“Everybody was in complete shock,” said Tameka Woodfork. In hindsight, she said, her daughter noticed her pants were wet as they were leaving the amusement park, but she assumed she sat in something. In actuality, her water broke.
No one was as astonished as Tayvia Woodfork, who said she did not gain any weight, nor did she experience any pregnancy symptoms or fetal movement. The baby was born at 37 weeks.
An irregular menstrual cycle, hormonal imbalances, false-negative pregnancy tests or positioning of the fetus could make a pregnancy harder to detect — among other factors, she said. Still, cryptic pregnancies are quite rare: According to the Cleveland Clinic, around 1 in 2,500 pregnancies go unnoticed until delivery, and about 1 in 475 pregnancies go unnoticed until 20 weeks gestation.
Tayvia Woodfork, who has a 2-year-old son, was transported to a hospital with her newborn. Golden Corral staff and customers clapped and cheered as they were carried out of the restaurant bathroom on a stretcher — about an hour and a half after the family first arrived.
The Woodforks live in Tunica, Miss., and traveled about three hours to Arkansas for a family outing. Tayvia Woodfork remained in the hospital until she was discharged on May 6. Despite the initial shock, both she and the baby were healthy after the birth.
After Tayvia Woodfork was discharged, she and her family went by Golden Corral to thank staff for being so hospitable, and to introduce them to her son — whom she named after the restaurant. His full name is Tamaar Kylon Corral Woodfork.
