When a woman from Nigeria had her baby, the infant didn’t resemble what the pair had envisioned. Not even the doctors could understand the unusual situation. Could the baby really be his?

Meet the Ihegboros

Like any other pair waiting for a baby, Ben and Angela Ihegboro were not particularly unusual. The couple was originally from Nigeria, but five years earlier, they had made a decision to shift their lives to South London, UK.

The Ihegboros were already parents to two kids when the news of Angela’s third pregnancy came. Unlike her previous pregnancies, this one was going to be different. Unknown to them, the birth of their child was about to astound the medical professionals.

Welcoming a New Baby

Before they realized it, it was time for the arrival of Ben and Angela’s third child. Up to this point, the pregnancy had proceeded without a hitch. All was going according to the plan with nothing out of the ordinary.

Angela and Ben made their way to a London hospital, ready to welcome their baby into the world. As Angela was swiftly prepared for the arrival, Ben nervously sat in anticipation in the waiting room. As the moment arrived and Angela gave birth, the situation took a rapid turn from the norm, evolving into something far from ordinary.

The Delivery

Not just were things out of the ordinary—the birth turned out to be completely different from any other the medical team had ever witnessed.

Shortly after their daughter was brought into the world by Angela, both she and her husband, Ben, began to notice something unusual about the infant. It was a situation they were not ready for or could have imagined. The doctors too observed this peculiar condition of the newborn. Deep down, like any other mother, all Angela desired was the assurance that her baby girl was in good health.

Healthy Baby

Just like any other mom, Angela’s greatest concern was the well-being of her baby. Andrea, of course, felt a great relief knowing her daughter was in good health, but there was something about her baby’s look that was both unexpected and quite unusual.

“The first time I laid my eyes on my baby, I was full of joy. I’m so glad I have a baby,” Angela joyfully shared with The Sun. She added, “When I was in the room they had me stay in, some of the individuals who caught sight of me and the baby exclaimed in surprise,” So, we’re left wondering, what exactly took the doctors by surprise?
