Two quick-thinking police officers came to the aid of a woman who was giving birth in a precinct parking lot in Queensland’s Moreton Bay.

Queensland Police constables Jacob Pennisi and Philippe Stigner were returning to their station in Deception Bay at about 9:20 am on March 1 when Nathaniel Pedler approached them for help.

Nathaniel’s wife Julie was in advanced labor, and the couple had pulled into the police station parking lot when there wasn’t enough time to reach the hospital.

Constable Stigner helped provide birthing assistance via a Triple-Zero call operator and within just five minutes, Julie had welcomed a baby boy.

Julie and Nathaniel’s son Blake had arrived unexpectedly into the world in the middle of the carpark.

“The call operator asked us to get a towel to wrap up the baby and to keep both mum and baby warm,” Constable Pennisi said.

”We found a towel in the back of the car, wrapped the baby up and the paramedics came about five minutes later.

“It all happened very quickly. We definitely didn’t expect to assist with a birth that day, but that’s the nature of this job; every day is different, and each callout is unique.”

Now, two months on, the Pedler family returned to Deception Bay police station to thank the officers for their help.

Julie told Queensland Police she was “caught off-guard” by the speed of her labour.

“It was all very quick on the day, it was nice to have the help of the police,” she said.
