Every childbirth is a unique experience, but giving birth in the midst of a hurricane is extraordinary. A courageous Miami mother accomplished this incredible feat early one morning, all while on the phone with emergency services who guided her through the process.

As Hurricane Irma unleashed its powerful winds, emergency responders were overwhelmed with calls and unable to reach everyone in need. So, when labor struck just hours before the hurricane was set to make landfall, this mom took matters into her own hands. With the help of a dispatcher, she successfully delivered her baby while on a conference call, demonstrating remarkable strength and resourcefulness.

“We couldn’t send anyone out, so she managed to deliver the placenta as well. The dispatcher provided instructions on how to tie it off, and she is stable at home,” reported Fire Chief Marco Reyes to the local news. “We coordinated with a medical professional to guide her through the entire process.”

Incredibly, paramedics and a doctor from a nearby hospital provided step-by-step support, helping her navigate through the delivery, including the crucial steps of delivering the placenta and cutting the umbilical cord. The result was a beautiful, healthy baby girl, who was taken to the hospital with her mother as soon as it was safe for travel.
