Tbf it’s worth asking if you are looking at a baby’s phenotype and wondering if your partner was unfaithful. Mix-ups happen sometimes and it’s possible that the hospital gave you back the wrong baby
Hopefully since covid forced a lot of hospitals to shut down their nurseries and switch to what’s called “rooming in” where a baby stays with mom pretty much at all times, this happens less than it already did.
Heck, I’m just out in podunk Oklahoma, where we are a bottom 10 state for women, but even here, the hospital we picked to have our kid does all procedures in the room right where you can see after baby is born, and hands them right back to mom. They never leave you (unless you elect for a circumcision for some god awful reason), which is a huge relief for me. I was gonna be ripping out that epidural and catheter so fast to follow my fucking infant if they took him from out of my sight for even a minute.
That’s cool and it makes a lot more sense to me. Unless there’s some major complications with the birth it seems like you could handle everything in the same room. But I’m not a midwife so what do I know?
