A proud father has explained how watching video clips on YouTube helped him deliver his baby son.
Marc Stephens said he had to act quickly when his wife Jo went into labour three weeks early as she had a history of fast births with her previous three children.
The 28-year-old Royal Navy air engineer, from Redruth, Cornwall, searched "how to deliver a baby" on the internet and after viewing a few clips said he was ready to help deliver healthy baby Gabriel.
Mr Stephens said: "I didn't even have time to panic. She started complaining of pain around 10.30pm. I went on Google and watched a couple of clips on YouTube.
"At 2.30am 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 delivering baby Gabriel safely all the family, including daughters Jasmine, two, Sophie, five and Zoe, six, waited for an ambulance to take them to the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Truro.
They were all home again by 6.30am.
Mrs Stephens, 28, said she and baby Gabriel are doing well and being looked after at home.
