MDA paramedic walks father through home birth amid lockdown
A Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedic acted quickly to walk a man through a home birth after the father-to-be called the MDA hotline and told them that his wife was in advanced stages of labor.
"Very quickly I realized that this was an active birth and that it was very likely that the baby would come out before the ambulance arrived," said paramedic Yuval Eliyahu. "I directed the husband to bring clean towels in order to wrap the baby as soon as it came out, and in fact I instructed him on how to deliver the baby in their bathroom. After a couple of minutes the baby was born and immediately began to cry."
