Birthing guide ... internet search engine Google
DESPERATE dad Leroy Smith resorted to Google with the request "how to deliver a baby" when his wife went into labour.
He was so clueless when wife Emma suddenly started to give birth at home he opted to use the internet.
Mr Smith called a midwife for advice but before she arrived Emma, 25, began having powerful contractions.
So the 29-year-old grabbed hold of his BlackBerry, accessed the internet and sought help from search engine Google for step-by-step instructions.
And after following the detailed guide on the internet's wikiHow Emma safely gave birth to daughter 6lb 11oz Mahalia Merita Angela Smith.
Nervous
Five minutes after the delivery the midwife arrived to cut the umbilical cord of their fourth child.
Today proud Mr Smith said: "The midwife had checked Emma earlier in the day but contractions started up again at about 8pm so we called the midwife to come back.
"But then everything happened so quickly I realised Emma was going to give birth.
"I wasn't sure what I was going to do so I just looked up the instructions on the internet using my BlackBerry.
"I was very, very nervous. I never thought I'd actually have to do it.
"The BlackBerry told me that when I saw the head, I had to support it.
"And when the baby actually comes out, I had to place her on Emma's chest, then covered them both with a blanket and make sure they were both comfortable and relaxed.
"It was amazing. It was just us two in the house because the other kids were with their grandma - Emma's mum.
"The midwife arrived about five minutes after the birth and told me I'd done good. She clamped the umbilical cord and I cut it."
Mr Smith, a security guard, added: "I couldn't believe I had done it and Emma was such a soldier, no pain relief or anything.
"I knew the midwife was on her way but Emma went into labour very quickly, the whole thing only took about 40 minutes."
Leroy said before the birth of Mahalia on December 1, his wife disapproved of his BlackBerry because he was always playing with it but now she has "changed her tune".
He said: "She doesn't mind the BlackBerry now. I've told everyone the story about a million times and my other kids are all really proud of it too."
Proud mum-of-four Emma, of Leytonstone, East London, said: "It's incredible that Leroy delivered our first daughter. The other three are boys.
"I said to him 'you're Leroy Smith, you can do anything'. I had wanted a home birth anyway.
"And thank God for the BlackBerry, I'm never going to moan at Leroy about being on the phone again."
