Delivering a baby unexpectedly quickly at any time can be alarming for most, but one South Florida couple had a sympathetic voice to help them through the ordeal. That voice was Jessica Quitoni, a pregnant dispatcher who works for the Coral Springs Police Department.<\/p>\n

It was a Sunday afternoon, and Vernal Green was home with his pregnant wife, Aveny, when she started to go into labor. \u201cOut of nowhere, the contractions got really strong,\u201d Vernal told\u00a0NBC Miami<\/a>. \u201cThe baby just started coming way faster than we expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

He dialed 911 at 12:29 pm and got dispatcher Quitoni on the line. Immediately, she could hear the panic in his voice as she calmly went into action.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, my wife is pregnant, and I think she\u2019s going into labor, and we might not be able to make it to the hospital,\u201d Green said over the recorded line.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy main thing is I wanted to know how far along she was and what number baby she was having because it makes a difference,\u201d Quitoni told NBC.<\/p>\n
