When Leroy Smith’s wife unexpectedly went into labor with the couple’s fourth child, the nervous dad turned to Google to help him safely deliver the baby. Smith had called a midwife, but his wife’s contractions came so quickly, he felt he had no other choice but to grab his trusty BlackBerry and Google "how to deliver a baby.” The search led him to wikiHow where step-by-step instructions assisted the frantic father in delivering 6lb 11oz daughter Mahalia Meriate Angela Smith.

Prior to the baby’s birth, Leroy’s wife, Emma, had nagged him about his BlackBerry habit, but now the happy and healthy mother-of-four is thankful for the gadget, telling The Sun, “Thank God for the BlackBerry, I’m never going to moan at Leroy about being on the phone again.”

Oodles of parenting tips and tricks.

I've got to say that when I started wikiHow, I didn't envision that people would use it like this. :) Congrats to the Dad and Mom! In case you are curious, the wikiHow page he found was: http://www.wikihow.com/Deliver-a-Baby
