A Michigan mother got more than she bargained for when she delivered her fourth child in the most unexpected of places. Alyce Rotunda, 32, from Centreville, had hoped her baby would arrive on her birthday, August 10. Instead, baby Matilda made her grand entrance three hours later in a McDonald’s parking lot in Schoolcraft.
The dramatic birth story began when Rotunda was sent home from the hospital earlier that week with what doctors called a “false alarm.” But on her birthday, contractions returned and didn’t stop. By late that night, she and her husband, Kevin, knew it was time to make the 45-minute drive to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo.
