Blue... no, pink...

I’ve been at several births over the last few weeks, and the last few have been waterbirths which has been lovely. There was some confusion over the gender of the baby after one birth recently with the proud mum announcing: “It’s a boy!” before realising a few minutes later that she’d confused the umbilical cord with a certain part of the male anatomy and announcing that baby was actually a little girl “but we love you just as much either way!”. I’d always thought confusing the cord was a bit of an urban myth until I saw it actually happen.
