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

PHOTOS: Hollywood's baby boom

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.
