According to British media reports on August 29, a man in Wittington, Northumberland, England, delivered his daughter super fast on the floor of his bathroom.
Ian and daughter Lucille
Ian Richardson, a first-time father, "incarnated" as a midwife during the birth of his wife Laura and successfully delivered his daughter, Lucille.
At around 1:30 a.m. on Monday, Laura had minor contractions and they called the hospital and an ambulance took them to the Royal Victoria Hospital.
After rushing to the hospital, the doctor performed a series of examinations, the fetal heart rate of the fetus was normal, and Laura's uterine opening was only 2 centimeters.

The doctor judged that Laura would take some time to give birth and let them go home.
But as a mother of two sons, Laura, a 27-year-old mother, feels she may not be long off.
But they still took the bus back to their home in Widdington at 9 a.m. Exhausted, Ian came home and went to sleep.
One hour, a sleeping Ian was suddenly awakened by Laura's shouts.
Laura shouted in the bathroom, "I'm about to give birth, can you help me?"
He was still half asleep and half awake and felt he couldn't do it.
He called the emergency number, and the other party calmed Ian down, saying that Ian could help his wife give birth, and then the other party used the phone to instruct Ian to give birth for his wife. He asked Ian to hold the baby's head and told Ian that it didn't matter even if water sprayed on the child.
Ian managed to remain calm, and all of a sudden, Lucille slid into Ian's arms.
Ian washed the little guy and wrapped her up in a blanket and handed her to Laura.
After 10 minutes, an ambulance arrived, and the paramedics helped treat the umbilical cord and helped his wife successfully deliver the placenta.
▲ Cute Lucille
Laura and the baby were taken to an emergency hospital in Cramlington for examination.
Baby Lucille was born at 12:26 p.m. and weighs 6 pounds 8 ounces (about 3kg).
Ian said: "I can't believe it's true, I don't want it to happen this way, but it does happen. ”

He added: "It's amazing, I can tell lucille about it when she grows up." Not every father has the opportunity to deliver his own daughter. ”
Laura said: "He's doing a great job and I'm surprised he's so calm. Ian didn't like blood, but he didn't care about it all, he just listened to the instructions on the emergency services call and he did a good job. ”
Lucille was born at 37 weeks, a full three weeks ahead of her due date, and she was Ian's first child.
Laura said she was proud of her husband, Ian, who saved Lucille and gave her a safe birth.
