It has happened again and it is neither the first nor the last. A British soldier has recently given birth to her baby in Afghanistan and says she didn't know she was pregnant.
I say that it has happened again because there are more cases of women who give birth and say they did not know they were expecting a baby and I, the truth is that I do not believe it.
Returning to this mother, since we talked about her, we told her everything, to say that both she and her baby are in good condition, in case anyone doubts it having been born in the hospital of the Bastion camp in Afghanistan.
When a military woman is pregnant she cannot have a destination, she is not allowed, so it is understood that the baby was conceived before the six-month period to the country where she has been a mother began. In case anyone has doubts, they have reported that training prior to military deployment included a 13-kilometer march and several eight-kilometer races and their mission in Afghanistan was to provide coverage to soldiers fighting the insurgents.
One of two, or really has never realized that I was pregnant, that really is something that I can not understand because a pregnancy produces various symptoms, one of them as simple as you get a fat belly (I say so, rough and easy, because even a child understands it), or he realized the pregnancy being already in Afghanistan and did not know how to say it or he did not want to leave his companions, that the patriotic vein of each , you know, you can override the reason.
On the day she went into labor, she complained of stomach aches, being transferred to the field hospital, where doctors told her she was about to give birth.
Andrea Lewis, responsible for the field hospital said the following:
It's a unique situation, but my team is well prepared for the unexpected and they adapted brilliantly to the situation. I am delighted to report that the mother and the baby are doing well and we are delighted with the result.
This obviously concludes the soldier's journey through Afghan lands. Mom and baby move to England to make mother and child, something nobody expected. Well, ahem, mother I think I did.
