Need to Deliver a Baby? Check YouTube.

Written on May 2, 2009 – 10:13 pm | by Glass Pearl |

In the old movies the first thing they do when a woman goes into labour is to send the man out of the room to boil water.

Those days are long gone.

First of all the woman can schedule a Caesarean section, taking most of the guess work out of the delivery date.

Secondly many men choose to be part in the delivery with medical professionals in attendance.

Thirdly if the unexpected happens without warning, a quick labour ensues, and you’re not a medical professional, there’s always Google.

This happened to a couple Marc and Jo Stephens from Cornwall in the UK.

When Jo went into labour in the middle of the night, instead of panicking, Marc did what most net surfers would do. He went directly to the source with all the answers – Google, of course.

He typed in “how to deliver a baby” into the search engine.

Google led him to YouTube and birthing videos. Although we don’t exactly which of the available birthing videos Marc looked at to help deliver their baby, he had a few to choose from.

Mother, father and baby are said to be doing well.
