A healthy baby girl was born in Miami on Sunday, even though overwhelmed first responders couldn’t reach her mom before the stork did, officials said.
Dispatchers and doctors talked the woman through her own delivery in the Little Haiti section of town, Miami assistant fire chief Eloy Garcia told the Miami Herald.
Paramedics eventually made it to the new mom, mother and daughter to the hospital.
“We weren’t able to respond. So she delivered the placenta, also.
Dispatch told her how to tie it off. She’s stable at home,” Garcia said.
“We made contact with the assistant medical director here. Talked things through.”
It wasn’t immediately known if the girl was going to be named Irma.
