Baby Couldn't Wait; Mom Gives Birth In AdventHealth Parking Lot

ZEPHYRHILLS, FL — A Sumter County family is grateful for their healthy baby, Kieralynn, after she was born in an unexpected place — the parking lot of AdventHealth Zephyrhills.

Kieralynn's parents were on their way to the hospital on Sept. 27 when the new mom started experiencing contractions. They pulled into the hospital's parking lot, but the urge to push became stronger, leaving mom with no time to get through the front door.

The clinical care teams rushed outside and helped the mom with her special delivery.

Both baby Kieralynn and mom are doing well. The baby's parents say they are grateful for the care they received and will share this story with their little princess for years to come.
