A British postman turned midwife while out on his daily rounds, helping to deliver a baby girl as he was about to hand over the mail to a heavily pregnant woman.

Ryan Davenport, 27, was called into action as he reached the home of Melanie Newman, 33, in the Welsh capital Cardiff, taking advice from medical staff over his cellphone and delivering the girl, Sophie, in her mother's hallway.

The baby girl, who weighed in at 4,1 kilograms, was born three weeks premature.

"It all happened so quickly - one minute I was delivering mail, the next minute I was delivering a baby. I've never done that before," said Davenport.

"I thought I was okay, but when I got to the end of the street, I realised I hadn't given Melanie her mail. So I had to go back and hand it over. We all laughed about that."
