Father delivers his second child

Mena welcomes Seth to the world watched by Mother Dawn Will

A father was forced to deliver his second child while waiting for a midwife to arrive.

Tim Will and his wife Dawn live in Catfield, a Broadland village between Great Yarmouth and Stalham, in Norfolk.

A midwife was called on 27 December when Dawn went into labour but baby Seth could not wait, like his sister.

Tim said: "I personally delivered my baby son, Seth, alone with my wife in our en-suite bathroom just over four years after I delivered his sister."

Four-year-old Mena had also raced into the world with her father's help.

"Four years ago on 23 December daughter Mena was also born in the en-suite, as she was also in a hurry and the ambulance took 30 minutes longer than expected to arrive," Mr Will said.

Mr Will said with Seth he had called a midwife to help 45 minutes before the birth, but the baby could not wait.

Ten minutes after the home birth the midwife arrived.

Seth was born healthy and weighed about 3.3kg (7lbs 7oz).
