Gaelan Edwards was happily watching TV in his bedroom on Sunday when he heard his pregnant mum, Danielle, shout for him around 2am. Danielle was in labour two days before her due date and, more specifically, the baby's head was already showing. Gaelan knew he had to act quickly, so what did he do?

He then grabbed some scissors to cut the umbilical cord when the baby was finally out. Gaelan then wrapped his baby brother in a blanket and handed him to his proud mum, reports the Daily Mail.
