911 situation for 311!

311 frontman Nick Hexum delivered his daughter Maxine without any medical supervision, Us Weekly confirms.

The 41-year-old and his wife, Nikki, planned for a midwife to assist in their second child's homebirth. But when Nikki went into sudden labor on May 1, her musician hubby took things into his own hands!

Hexum was concerned for his daughter's safety when he noticed the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. Remembering the birth of his daughter, Echo, 21 months prior, he reached in and rotated the baby so she could be delivered.

Fortunately, the midwife arrived about ten minutes later and cut Maxine's umbilical cord. Mom and baby are both doing well.

I once gave CPR to a very newborn kitten, Victoria. To some, that would be considered gross too, but you gotta do what you gotta do ... especially when it's a life or death situation. Good for him, glad they're all doing well!

Wow. He just raised the bar that much higher for all the dads-to-be out there, LOL. What he did was awesome, and very loving; Victoria needs to grow up a bit.

@Victoria Doing What Mr Hexum did to help deliver his daughter isn't gross it's called being a concerned parent. If the Chord had stayed wrapped around her neck they would've had to be transported to the hospital for an emergency C-section and she could've ended up with developmental disabilities like cerebral paulsy and blindness from lack of oxygen

Sounds like he did a GREAT job! It is scarey when the cord is wrapped around the neck. My son was born with the cord around his... VERY SCARY!

More likely he slipped the cord off of her neck. Oh THANK GOD the midwife cut the cord! ROTFL! Cause we all know that cord is so dang dangerous to leave on! LOL! Glad every is doing well. Homebirth is wonderful.
