A hospital in Dorset, once the centre of dinosaur activity in England, gave a young mother the wrong baby to take home. This was luckily spotted and rectified and the correct baby reunited with mum. But are there instances where this was not spotted. All babies pretty much look similar. Do any fabbers feel that they were a victim of this either as a parent or a baby. It's all over the news |

I think there was a case in the USA recently where it was only discovered years later and one family was trying to get the children exchanged and back with their biological families. You'd need the wisdom of Solomon to sort that out.
I used to have to put a teddy in the hospital cot because I couldn't recognise my own babies  |

Reminds me of the anti Welsh Korean by Simon Evans....I'm Welsh but love the love the joke and if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at...!
His dry approach makes the joke brilliant...probably for best result Google it...but here goes for written approach...
Three expectant fathers are pacing up and down outside the maternity ward, an englisn man a Welsh man and a pakistani...when the doctor comes out and says gentlemen I do apologise but I've got some good news and bad news..
First of all I'm pleased to say your all your wives have successfully given birth to a healthy son each..but unfortunately there's been a mix up and we don't know which baby is whose..
The english father goes in first, as his his right......(alphabetically..!!)
And comes out with what is evidently the Pakistani baby....when it's pointed out to him he's obviously picked the wrong baby he replies...one of those 2 in there is Welsh and I'm taking no chances... |

"I was reading about a midwife the other day who on her death bed admitted to swapping 1000s of babies "
thats soooo bad.
there's lots of reports thought - there was a film - cant remember the name, but they found out when the children were older, such a trauma to the kid's then having grown up with the 'other' family. I think they all ended up like extended family. Once you start the nurture process then that must be so hard to break that bond, if you can.
Also reports of people finding out when they do a blood test for something and dont match the rest of the family.

I think I would have been the ugliest baby in the ward, no losing me unfortunately. My mother said she was upset as I looked so much like my Dad's Mum. I guess I grew into my face a bit more as I aged. I was a fairly sweet-looking toddler.
And I look so much like my parents now, there's no doubting I'm not the wrong kid!
There are often episodes on various TV shows, you wonder whether or not it could happen, but I suppose we're all human, and mistakes can be made... |
