Giving birth without husband in the country
Hello, I am not due until Nov 1 but I'm already concerned about giving birth here in Dubai because there is a good chance my husband will not be able to be here for the birth or quite sometime afterwards. I really want to have the baby here as this is where my first dd was born and I love my doctor / hospital. But I'm worried about the rules and being able to get the birth certificate without DH physically here. I know we had to provide both original passports when getting my DH's birth cert.
Has anyone else been through this? Is it possible to get the cert with only a copy of his passport? I have the original docs for everything else. And, as I said, this is our second kid here so they already should have records for us.
I would hate to go all the way back to the US for no reason but, I also don't want to get stuck with a LO without the proper papers!
