Woman who had no idea she was pregnant gives birth in Taco Bell- just months after losing her nine-month old son in car crash
A woman who had no idea she was pregnant gave birth in a Taco Bell just months after losing her nine-month-old son in a car crash.
Breonni Jackson, an in-home care nurse from Virginia, stopped in at the Taco Bell-KFC in South Richmond to pick up lunch for her the patient she was caring for.
During the April 30 visit, she suffered severe stomach cramps and ran to bathroom. She noticed there was blood, and she called her husband in a panic.
Her husband, Jamarz Jackson, who works nearby at the VCU Medical Center, recalled his wife was 'crying, she’s breathing heavy.' As he raced to get to her side, he said, he heard a 'gut-wrenching scream,' then silence.
He heard his wife, yell out, 'oh my God, oh my God.' That is when she told him, 'I just had a baby.' Shocked, he replied, 'you did what?!' And, asked 'Boy or girl?'
'It's a girl,' his wife said, before calling 911. The employees at the fast food chain were unaware that a baby was being born a few feet away from them until the ambulance arrived.

Baby Ayanna was born on April 30 and was a 'gift' and 'dream come true' for the parents
Last June, Breonni and her husband Jamarz, lost their nine-month old son Jy'Aire who was killed in a car wreck near the intersection of Hull Street Road and Skinquarter Lane, as reported by WTVR News.
Breonni had been driving when her car struck a pickup truck and camper that pulled off onto the shoulder, as per the news outlet.
The ordeal was a nightmare for the parents. She recalled, 'to know that I lost my son doing something that I do on a daily basis was the worst thing ever.'
She was charged with two misdemeanors, one was dismissed. She had a suspended sentence and was given a fine for driving with bad brakes.
Breonni told the news outlet, the loss of their son tested their faith. In despair, Jamazrz said 'questioning God, you know like, you know, why?' he said.
Still grieving her son's loss, Breonni said the birth of her daughter, 'couldn’t have come at a better time.'
She added: 'I'm still in shock.'

The Jackson's had no idea that they were going to be parents again.
Breonni said she did not know she was pregnant, and learned from doctors that she had a condition known as a cryptic pregnancy.
A cryptic pregnancy is when a person is unaware they are pregnant until their last trimester, or, possibly until labor begins. A person with this condition, does not experience typical pregnancy symptoms, Medical News Today.
Breonni had been 34 -1/2 weeks pregnant when she gave birth, a full term pregnancy is between 39 weeks, or 40 weeks and 6 days, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Their daughter whose name is Ayanna is a 'dream come true.'
'To lose one and truly gain another one is definitely the best gift that we could ever ask for,' Breonni said.
The elated father said, 'But lo and behold, a miracle. Out of nowhere… in a Taco Bell restroom.'
