Keshia Melchiorre and her husband, Steve, were heading from their home to the hospital when her water broke.
Melchiorre safely delivered her daughter Portia in the front seat of the pickup. Her husband didn't even have time to pull over.
The baby wasn't due until Jan. 23.

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.
