A Utah woman who gave birth at Walmart returned to the store for a belated baby shower.

Cecilia Rivas had labor pains while shopping at Walmart earlier this month. Her water broke and she delivered a baby boy in the checkout aisle, according to KSTU. Employees and customers assisted with the delivery, and mother and baby are doing well.

Rivas and newborn son Matias returned to the store Wednesday for a surprise baby shower. The new mother received a stroller, baby clothes and plenty of diapers. Rivas said she was grateful for the assistance she received during the birth and for the gifts she received at the shower.
