Woman orders McDonald's quarter pounder - moments after giving birth in the car park

An Australian couple pulled into the car park of a McDonald's restaurant when the woman went into labour and gave birth - before promptly sending her husband to grab her a burger.

The husband and wife welcomed their happy arrival at the car park at the McDonald's in Melbourne, Australia, on Tuesday.

After delivering the baby in the car, the new mum sent hubby into the restaurant for a well-deserved Quarter Pounder.

Staff were left stunned as the husband who appeared 'frazzled' told them his wife had just had a baby and ordered the burger while they waited for an ambulance.

It was reportedly the new mother's 'first request' and the order was dealt with as quickly as possible.

And the mum was able to enjoy her meal at about the same time the ambulance arrived.

Licensee Ainsley Shillington told  Daily Mail Australia   her 'frazzled' husband told stunned staff that his wife had just given birth and they were waiting for an ambulance.

"During our lunch rush, he asked for an order for his wife who was delivering a baby in the car park.

"We served the customer as quickly as possible with drinks and a dinner box and he proceeded on his way, the crew at the time were quite concerned.

"Everyone thought it was quite fun to have such an occurrence in the car park, when they saw the ambulance in attendance they knew they were well and truly looked after."

The unidentified couple were taken to a nearby hospital.
