Brit helps wife deliver with YouTube as midwife
LONDON (AFP)
A British man helped deliver his baby son by following clips on YouTube, after his wife went into labor early, he said Friday.Marc Stephens, a 28-year old engineer with the Royal Navy, was caught out when his wife Jo went into labor early three weeks prematurely at their home in Redruth, southwest England.He typed "how to deliver a baby" into the Google search engine.
"I didn't even have time to panic. She started complaining of pain around 10.30 pm. I went on Google and watched a couple of clips on YouTube," he said, adding that his wife had given birth quickly with their three older children."At 2.30 am she woke me up, but when I rang the midwife to come out she said they were busy at the hospital. The next thing I know she is coming through the bedroom doorway on all-fours.
"I looked down and the baby's head was showing."After helping her give birth, he rounded up daughters Jasmine, two, Sophie, five and Zoe, six, and the whole family went by ambulance to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in nearby Truro.Within hours they were back at home, where Stephens was on Friday caring for his wife and children, including new-born son Gabriel.
