She wrapped the baby in her sweat shirt and her husband had to remind her to check if it was a boy or a girl, she said, adding that "it was just complete shock."
Portia was born 4 pounds, 12 ounces, and a medical team rushed out to cut the umbilical cord when the family arrived at the hospital.
Mother and baby are in good condition at the hospital.
