Dad gets life-changing surprise after daughter asks for Panadol
As a parent, the last thing you expect to happen when your teenager feels sick is having to deliver their baby, but this was the reality for one Aussie dad.
Sydney mum Elle Woods shared her surprise birth story in a video on TikTok, which has now been viewed over three million times.
Elle revealed that at 16-years-old, she woke her dad up at 4am to ask for some Panadol as she wasn't feeling well.

Twenty minutes later, her father got the shock of his life after discovering she was "in active labour with half of the baby's head already out" and he had to deliver her baby girl.
Commenters were confused by the quick story.
"He whaaat? By himself?" one commenter asked in disbelief.
"Active labour and you just wanted some Panadol," said another.
"'So dad… the funniest thing right'," one commenter re-enacted jokingly.
In a follow-up video, Elle, now aged 29, explains that while she had found out she was pregnant at seven months, her dad had no idea until she went into labour.
Elle said: "My father didn't know I was pregnant until 4am that morning. He delivered my daughter at 4:20am, literally 20 minutes later."
"It really was a surprising pregnancy and birth in all ways then," said one.
"Oh it really was," Elle replied, "I was literally asleep and woke up and was like ouch"
"I cant imagine how horrified your dad must've feel like.. like at 4 am," said another.
"I guess your parents can't be angry afterwards like other teen pregnancies, too overwhelmed with the baby? Good way to dodge a bullet," another commenter added.
