HOUSTON — A dispatcher formed a special bond with a woman who gave birth to a baby this week.
Dispatcher Renae Whitehouse received a 911 call Thursday morning from a woman who was going into labor. The 26-year-old woman told Whitehouse that she was home alone on her living room floor.
“At first I was like, it probably won’t happen before the medic unit gets there,” Whitehouse told ABC. “And then she just had contraction after contraction after contraction. It was like, ‘Oh, this is really happening.’”
The woman told Whitehouse she could feel the baby’s head. Whitehouse instructed the woman to apply firm pressure to prevent the baby’s head from delivering too quickly. Around eight minutes later, deputies arrived at the woman’s home and the baby was delivered seconds later.
“I cried a little bit after it was done,” Whitehouse said. “I’m not gonna lie. I was just so happy.”
