Youtube Childbirth videos

Youtube Childbirth videos

A father managed to deliver his baby son after watching DIY baby delivery video clips on YouTube.

Feeling nervous about the imminent birth of his child Marc Stephens had a look at childbirth videos on his home computer.

Four hours later his wife, Jo, went into labour three weeks earlier than expected and, as paramedics rushed to help, Stephens was able to put his new-found knowledge into action and helped deliver the baby.

Stephens, 28, a naval engineer, told how he had already learned how to play the guitar and solve the Rubik’s Cube puzzle from YouTube videos. So it didn’t seem too much of a leap for him to check out the whys and wherefores of childbirth.

The baby was delivered safely and both mother and child are doing well.

After successfully delivering baby the paramedics arrived and the family travelled from their home to the Royal Cornwall hospital for the new mum and baby to be checked.

Pizza on Youtube

Domino’s Pizza has fired two American employees for behaving ‘inappropriately’ in the workplace and posting their antics on YouTube.
 
The male and female employees, aged 31 and 32, based in North Carolina, filmed themselves putting cheese up their noses and breaking wind over salami while preparing a pizza for delivery.

Although the staff members claimed their antics were a hoax and denied the pizza was subsequently delivered, Domino’s made sure the video was removed from the internet and filed a criminal complaint and the duo have since been charged by police.

The company has also filed a civil law suit.
