Autumn Swartzlander, a Winfield woman, has experienced both tragedy and celebration in her journey of motherhood over the past five years. In 2019, she and her husband Kyle lost their first unborn child, Raelynn, at 29 weeks. The loss of their first child was a devastating experience for Autumn and Kyle. However, they found hope and joy when they welcomed their rainbow baby, Hayven, in 2020. Hayven faced complications during birth but survived after being resuscitated and receiving a blood transfusion. This experience further strengthened Autumn's desire to be a mother and inspired her to become a labor and delivery nurse to help other families going through similar experiences.
Autumn and Kyle wanted to expand their family further, but they faced difficulties due to Autumn's health conditions. They decided to pursue fertility treatments, and their efforts were successful. Autumn is now pregnant with their third child, and they are filled with anticipation and hope for the future.
Throughout her journey, Autumn has found ways to honor the memory of Raelynn. She has created a memory garden and participates in remembrance walks for families who have experienced the loss of a child. Autumn's experience as a labor and delivery nurse and her personal journey of motherhood have shaped her perspective and given her a unique understanding of the emotions and challenges faced by families in similar situations.

In a surprising turn of events, Tayvia Woodfork, a 26-year-old woman, unexpectedly gave birth to a 6-pound 1-ounce baby boy in the bathroom of a Golden Corral restaurant in Little Rock, Arkansas. Woodfork had no idea she was pregnant and did not experience any pregnancy symptoms or fetal movement. The baby was born at 37 weeks. Cryptic pregnancies, where a woman is pregnant but unaware of her condition until late in the pregnancy or when labor begins, are rare but can be caused by factors such as irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal imbalances, false-negative pregnancy tests, or the positioning of the fetus [f3844452].
Woodfork and her newborn were transported to a hospital and were healthy after the birth. She named her son Tamaar Kylon Corral Woodfork, after the restaurant. The Woodfork family visited the Golden Corral after a day at an amusement park, and the restaurant staff helped provide privacy and towels during the unexpected birth. The franchise owner of the Golden Corral location said that this had never happened before at their restaurant. After being discharged from the hospital, Woodfork and her family visited the Golden Corral to thank the staff and introduce them to her son. The family received a free meal and a gift bag with baby essentials from the restaurant staff [f3844452].
