Two young parents had a big surprise when they gave birth to a baby boy, when they were convinced they were expecting a girl.
The photo went viral on social media. Koto Nakamura, a young Australian mother, looks amazed, and to be honest a little scared, after giving birth.
The reason for his amazement? No, her baby does not have a strange head, scales on the body or a second pair of ears. What causes the surprise of the new mother is the sex of her baby… It is indeed a little boy, while the midwife had assured her that she would give birth to a girl .
The photo is the work of Jessica Jackson, a birth photographer who shared the photo on his Instagram account, to show the crowd of emotions that crossed the face of the mother: surprise, shock and great joy.
Preparing for the arrival of a baby girl
The young parents were well prepared to welcome a little girl. They had already chosen the name: Hinata. This pretty Japanese name means “sunny”. They had also invested in pink clothes and toys, and received gifts for a little girl.
Never mind! This sex change does not hinder their happiness, because fortunately the baby is healthy. Once the surprise passed, the young parents therefore rushed to bring their little boy home. They have decided that he will be called Taïga, a Japanese name which means “tall and graceful”.
For the anecdote, the midwife at the origin of the error would have already been mistaken in the past, misinterpreting the sex of the baby on the ultrasounds of other parents. Koto Nakamura, her husband and the photographer had also joked about this before the birth, without knowing that they were going to experience the same thing!
