Then inform your brostitutes to stop impregnating people's wives. Everything to you people is an attack on the female gender when your gender is second only to the devil.
odinson1:
This is why a Compulsory DNA test after Test is very important.

I know PROSTITUTES will use this as an Avenue to deny or downplay the Issue of Paternity Fraud. Still,it doesn't change the fact that Cases of Paternity fraud have and will continue to happen until DNA test after Birth is made Mandatory.

NB: For DNA tests, if a baby is switched, it won't have any of the mother or father's DNA. If it has the mother's DNA but not that of the father, then someone lied.


Ah! I thought there was something called prenatal paternity DNA tests?

That's how you would have been raising someone's else son or daughter because of negligence. Reason sometimes DNA test should be conducted immediately to avoid super story in the future.

Thanks for this.... The poor woman would have been labelled a cheat. Probably killed for giving her husband another man's child not knowing what happened that the husband himself collected the wrong baby from the hospital by himself cheesy

I'm sure it's a lie. A lot of people post false stories on Twitter for engagement calling it "content".

Only people who're not familiar with how Labour rooms look like would believe this nonsense. First of all, how many women will give birth at exactly the same time in the Labour ward?

I've worked in extremely busy labour wards where more than 10 women are very close to giving birth but it's still rare that two babies would come out at the same minute.

Now let's even assume that happens, is it the same midwife/assistant or doctor/assistant pair that would take the two deliveries at the same time?

Now let's even assume the same person cleans or resuscitates (if necessary) the two babies. The person would likely take the APGAR + weight of one and document first before doing for the second. Immediately after that they'll have to give the mother to keep the baby skin to skin/belly to belly and attempt to breastfeed. So the baby won't be away for more than a few minutes.


Now, all these activities happen in the same labour room, in a designated area usually in the line of sight of the mothers in standard labour rooms.


This narrative needs to be killed abeg. Nobody dey switch babies. Healthcare workers as a rule try to be very careful to avoid anything that has legal consequences.


NB: For DNA tests, if a baby is switched, it won't have any of the mother or father's DNA. If it has the mother's DNA but not that of the father, then someone lied.

Off cause you would support your comrades na when e be say na watin una dey do, why take babies outside the mother ward for cleaning? I'm not saying the super story real or lie o but things like this happens alot for pay which I've seen and experienced so you've no idea how other clinic operate don't back them or cover them
Re: Government Hospital Mistakenly Switches Babies Whose Parents Have Same Surname by ImaIma1(f): 5:04pm On Jan 30, 2022
My friend's elder sister was switched, and this was in the 70s. It was an aunty who visited the mum in the hospital that saw the baby and said "this is not a Johnson baby" (not real name).

There was another baby born that day. She just looked at the baby's face and said that is their baby. Behold after investigating, they realized they had the wrong baby.

If that woman had not visited...

After negative DNA test, This is the main reason why some women looked confused, when they actually don`t cheat on their man.

Not true,

DNA will still confirm that, she is not the mother. That is when they will start their investigations and trace back to the hospital.

Many teenagers have been reunited with their real parents that way.

I wish they didn’t find out now it would have been disaster for both families most especially now that we are hearing government want to be doing DNA tests for free in any government hospitals, A lots of cases like this has ruined many homes and taken a lots of lives hospitals should be careful while handling new Born Babies.

DNA test will also show that, she is not the mother therefore excluding her cheating.

Since they know the hospital where she gave birth and the husband may have witnessed the birth himself, they know where to go next for answers.

In some hospitals, babies are placed in a nursery not with the mother

That practice should be discontinued. Who nursery epp? The baby needs to continue bonding with the mother.
Re: Government Hospital Mistakenly Switches Babies Whose Parents Have Same Surname by kinguwem: 6:47pm On Jan 30, 2022
I doubt the story. Newborns are usually worn a hand tag with the mother's name, the sex of the baby, date & time of delivery clearly written on it.
Then the baby is handed over to the mother after cleansing or a close relative if the mother is not stable to handle the baby.

It's simple, do DNA for father ,mother and child. If it doesn't match with mother then it means it was switched at birth but you can't have DNA match with mother and not father and become confused
