Man Delivers Baby With Help of YouTube
Providing further proof that the Internet is not, in fact, "good for nothing," Marc Stephens, a 28-year-old naval engineer from Cornwall, England, watched a quick how-to baby video on YouTube, and successfully delivered his baby daughter, Gabriele. According to the Daily Mirror, this all happened on March 21st, but apparently the Stephens only spilled the details about how the baby actually was born, yesterday morning.Feeling anxious about his wife going into labor, he decided to check out some birthin' videos. Good timing, because a few hours later, she went into labor (three weeks earlier than expected). The paramedics were on the way, but, with time running short, Stephens was forced to go at it himself.
His wife, Jo, who has three other children, told a slew of British newspapers that of all her four childbirths, this was the one she enjoyed the most.
Stephens apparently learns from YouTube videos quite a bit: He's used them to learn how to play guitar and complete Rubik's Cubes (both of which, we would guess, are a great deal more difficult than delivering a child -- at least physically).
"I spent about half an hour on Google and watched a couple of videos on YouTube," he said. "One was a cheesy American video called: 'This is how you give birth.' "
Sometimes a little American cheese is enough, it would appear. [From: Guardian and Daily Mirror]
