Plumber delivers wife’s baby

A PLUMBER in Michigan, USA, who makes his living working in bathrooms, has brought a life into the world in one.

With the help of a 911 dispatcher, Brian Hines, aged 38, helped his wife, Andrea, deliver their son, 7lb 13.5oz Daniel Michael Lee Hines, on the bathroom floor of their Oakland County home.

Hines said they did not rush to a hospital when the contractions began because their first child, Alexander, had taken hours to arrive. Daniel took just seven minutes.

Hines said he sees the irony of the story, and says he and his wife will have “fun with that one for a long time”.
