When the father cannot be in childbirth: the story of the birth of a son while in Afghanistan

Many times life twists the plans we had planned and there are particular circumstances, such as the father cannot be in childbirth of his son.

I wanted to share with you the exciting birth story of little Galen, which his father could not personally attend because he was destined for military mission in Afghanistan.

Still not being able to be with them at that important moment in the lives of the three, Daniel, the father, was able to follow the birth online thousands of kilometers through a webcam. Of course, a facility that years ago was not counted and today makes it possible for a father to be part of the arrival in the world of his baby.

We imagine an ideal birth with the father accompanying the woman, but the truth is that there are many situations in which the woman gives birth alone, either by choice or because the father can not attend for reasons of force majeure. Even years ago it was not strange that the man was not present at the birth of a son, even if he could be.

The role of the father at that time is very important, providing support, assisting the mother, and receiving together the newborn baby. It's a magical moment that is marked with fire, so when the father cannot be in childbirthI imagine it shouldn't be easy for a woman to go through it alone.

At least there is the comfort of technology that allows a father like Daniel live the birth of his son Galen while still on a military mission in Afghanistan.
