ABC News(SPRING, Texas) — A 9-1-1 dispatcher in Spring, Texas, helped one expectant mom deliver her baby over the phone this week.
The mother, Kioma, was on her living room floor and feeling contractions while listening to instructions from the dispatcher, Renae Whitehouse.
Whitehouse: Is anyone else with you?
Mom: No.
Whitehouse: You need to feel down there and see if you can feel anything.
Mom: I think I feel the head.
Whitehouse told ABC affiliate KTRK-TV that she did not expect Kioma to deliver the baby before the medic unit got to her house.
“At first I was like, it probably won’t happen before the medic unit gets there,” she said to KTRK-TV. “And then she just had contraction after contraction after contraction. It was like oh this is really happening.”
And then Kennedy Bennet, now 2 days old, arrived just a few minutes before an EMT crew knocked on the door.
“I cried a little bit after it was done. I’m not gonna lie. I was just so happy,” Whitehouse said to KTRK-TV.
