At first this story seems a little bit crazier than it is. Lady goes into labor, husband watches a few videos on youtube, he delivers the baby. We agree that is crazy? Well it turns out it is his 4th child. So it is not like he has never seen it before, and I have been there, you basically catch . . . right? CNET has the following:

Marc Stephens, a naval engineer from Cornwall, England, and an afficionado of YouTube learning, thought it might be instructive or, who knows, fun, to check out the child-birthing thing on the site as his wife Jo was feeling a few tweaks in her innards.

So there he was at 10:30 p.m., watching where to put your hands, when to pull, how to twist. Oh, you surely don’t expect me to watch one of these things, do you? I can tell you that one of the videos was called “How to Deliver a Baby in a Taxicab.”

Remarkably, he thought about the taxicab video and kept his head while he held the baby’s.

“My youngest daughter woke up and was standing right behind me watching the whole thing!” he told the Telegraph.

To which Jo added: “I wasn’t panicking at all. I have to say, out of all my four labors, that was the one I enjoyed the most.”

I wasn’t entirely aware this childbirth thing could be enjoyable.

All I can say is, “Be glad it wasn’t a C-section . . .”
