Active labor
Tayvia Woodfork and her family's evening meal at Golden Corral in North Little Rock, Arkansas, took a unexpected turn when Tayvia, experiencing stomach discomfort, discovered she was in active labor at 37 weeks during a trip to the restroom.
Cryptic pregnancy
Tayvia Woodfork had what is known as a "cryptic pregnancy," which is "when a pregnant person doesn’t know they’re pregnant…a person may only realize they’re pregnant because labor begins."
