An Iowa woman went to work at FedEx, only to receive a package she wasn’t expecting.
Amethyst Blumberg didn’t know she was pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy on Monday, January 26, while working at a FedEx factory in Grimes, local media outlets KCCI and KENS 5 reported.
Bloomberg told KCCI that she got off work around 8 a.m. and suddenly needed to use the bathroom.
“After that, I couldn’t even go to the bathroom,” Bloomberg told the outlet and KENS 5, adding that she was able to get help by opening the door.

“I stood up and I felt, I felt his head,” she continued.
The Johnston-Grimes Fire Protection District arrived minutes before Blumberg went into labor and assisted with the delivery, according to KCCI.

“We are having a baby now,” someone said in the broadcast audio, the outlet reported.
A medical staff told the media that they arrived at the scene at 8:29 am and the baby was born at 8:33 am.
KENS 5 reported that Bloomberg eventually gave birth to her baby on the floor of her workplace.
She and her son, whom she named Onyx King Easterlie, were later taken to the hospital, where they are reportedly healthy and resting.
The small one weighs 6 pounds. 8 ounces, 19 inches long.
The now mum-of-two said that unlike the first time she experienced it, she didn’t have any signs or symptoms of pregnancy.
“The first time I was pregnant, I had all the symptoms,” she recalled to KCCI of her first pregnancy. “With this, I have nothing left. I’m losing weight at work.”

Bloomberg went on to explain that signs of her pregnancy only appeared toward the end. “The only thing I felt was when my back started hurting from the back labor. As he was going down, I felt him moving,” she told KCCI.
Bloomberg described her baby boy as “perfect” and “our FedEx baby.”
“I’ve seen a lot of things in my field, so I’m not too surprised anymore,” said Nick Pearson of the Johnston-Grimes Fire Protection District. “I’m just glad she’s healthy and the baby is healthy.”
PEOPLE has reached out to FedEx and the Johnston-Grimes Metropolitan Fire Department for comment.
Earlier this month, a Zion, Illinois, woman shared how she gave birth on Christmas Day despite not knowing she was pregnant.
Melanie Smith, 28, told NBC Chicago how she went to a Waukegan hospital when she started having “severe” stomach pains. Once there, doctors discovered she was nine months pregnant and her baby boy, Vincent, was born weighing a healthy 8 pounds.
