Quick Summary

On August 29, Katie Murphy gave birth to her son Cody in the parking lot of a KFC restaurant in Bromsgrove, England.

Katie and Stephen, who also have a 4-year-old daughter, were returning home from the hospital when labor accelerated unexpectedly; upon arriving at the KFC, Katie delivered Cody about five minutes before an ambulance arrived.

Story summary

On August 29, Katie Murphy gave birth to her son Cody in the parking lot of a KFC restaurant in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. The couple, who also have a four-year-old daughter, had initially gone to the hospital but were sent home around 4 p.m., only to return later that night when Katie's contractions intensified. About halfway through their drive back to the hospital, Katie felt she was about to give birth and Stephen pulled into the KFC parking lot they frequently visit. Before an ambulance arrived, Cody entered the world in the car. The couple decided to nickname him "Colonel Cody" after KFC’s founder, Colonel Harland Sanders. A KFC spokesperson said they were honored by the unique event and gifted the family merchandise and vouchers as a celebration of their new addition.
