Cleanup on aisle 7!
A Texas woman unexpectedly went into early labor while running errands at her local Walmart — and her husband caught the whole thing on camera.
Serena Mancera, 31, stopped by the supermarket with her husband, 27-year-old Juan Mancera — before the couple headed to the beach with Serena’s family, including their children Levi Daniel, Harlow Hope, and Lionel Juan.
Juan was checking out at the register when Serena visited the restroom, which is when she noticed blood running down her leg.
Panicking, she shouted for help.
“As I was done paying, I walked to the front, and I heard my wife screaming, scared due to blood running down her legs,” Juan recalled, according to Caters News.
“I was in shock mode… the best thing for me was to keep her calm, relax and not leave her side.”
Serena had placenta previa, a pregnancy condition in which the placenta implants low in the uterus and covers the opening, sometimes causing bleeding.
“Women at Walmart rush to help my wife,” Juan said, describing gawking onlookers as “uncomfortable.”
“It’s a very dangerous situation my wife could have bled out.”
A Walmart customer and employee offered to help watch their three kids as someone else called an ambulance, which whisked the couple to a hospital in Galveston. There, Serena gave birth to Juan Daniel Mancera, Jr.
“Thank you, Walmart, for experiencing this with me,” Serena wrote on Instagram. “I could have not done this alone!”
Juan captured the harrowing incident on video, uploading it to Instagram where it went viral, scoring more than 2.1 million views.
“Thank you to all the Walmart workers and the sweet Canadian nurse who helped my wife,” he said.
“We are thankful and blessed we have each other and to know there are good people out there.”
