Within seconds, she was on the floor by the till in the Nazyvaevsk store in Omsk region where she birthed her baby boy, Ivan 11 minutes later.
From photos through the CCTV, the new-mom could be seen with cashier Elena Barsukova, 35, who became the impromptu midwife aided by a colleague and 2 shoppers.
“There was no time to think,” admitted Elena who briefly panicked after realizing the baby really was on the way – covering her face in her hands but also seeking to use her phone to summon help.
Quickly she took charge of the delivery – as some shoppers looked on while others just continued making their purchases.

A shopper helped lower the woman onto the floor. Manager of Nizkotsen supermarket, Anna Tsybulskaya, 40, explained:“Everything happened so quickly.”
An employee came running from the supermarket floor and said that a girl was giving birth there, so I called an ambulance and then went to see what was happening.
“By then the child was already on the mother’s tummy. The baby was born before the ambulance arrived.”
The baby weighed 8lbs and has been named Ivan. “The baby is healthy, and we know that they are already at home,” she said.
The mother has not been named though reports say Ivan is her 6th child.
