Sure, you could always play it safe and have your wife shack up in a hospital when she’s in the beginning stages of childbirth, or, you could whip out your iPhone and begin to search YouTube for instructional videos on how to deliver it yourself! This is one Marc Stephens did, and it worked out well for him.
According to the BBC, “Marc Stephens watched the videos as a precaution when his wife Jo started to feel some discomfort. Four hours later, his wife went into labour and started giving birth before an ambulance could arrive at their home in Redruth. ‘I Googled how to deliver a baby, watched a few videos and basically swotted up.’”
Admittedly Mr. Stephens does have some very limited prior experience, given that this is his fourth child. “For our first I spent most of the time at my wife’s head, now I’m not afraid to go down to the business end.”

Congrats to the new dad!
However, I'm afraid of Apple getting wind of this and the use of the iPhone and using it in an AD of some sort...

Good man. I was there to cut the cord with all three of my kids. I made sure I was the first person my kids saw when they opened their eyes. I have a very special connection with my 2boys and 1girl that I wouldn't give up for anything.
Delivery is so awesome that I couldn't stay at my gals side. I had to be there at the business end every time. I really don't understand men that don't want to be right there when their kids are born. It was very very important for me.
I have this guy beat though. I have a pic of me holding my two hour old baby boy taken in the delivery room no less in the February 2009 Issue. Beat that one.

I don't understand why guys are afraid of the "business" end. That's how the baby got there in the first place!
