A woman gave birth to a baby boy at Chipinge District Hospital but woke up the next day holding a baby girl.
Cops were called and Now DNA tests are set to unravel the
mystery. Assistant Inspector Chinyoka told the Manica Post :”On September 21, at around 8pm, Ms Masocha
delivered a baby boy at Chipinge District Hospital through normal birth.
Immediately after delivery, Blessing Mutimbu who assisted her in giving birth
lifted the newborn baby in front of the mother for confirmation of the baby’s
sex as per the hospital procedure. Ms Masocha saw and acknowledged that her
new1born baby was a male child, and Mutimbu then dressed up the baby, and
recorded him as a boy in the hospital records before returning the baby to its
mother.
“In happiness, Ms Masocha called her husband, Mr Tavonga
Masi, telling him that she had safely delivered a baby boy. Ms Masocha slept on
the same bed with her baby, and did not change his nappies during the night. On
September 22, Mr Masi visited Ms Masocha in the maternity ward to see their new
baby. He did not stay for long, and left without checking the baby’s sex. On
the same day around 10am, Ms Masocha checked her baby’s nappies, and discovered
that the baby was a girl.
“In a state of shock, Ms Masocha checked the hospital
record book, and noted that, indeed, the baby had been recorded as a boy. She
called Mr Masi to inquire about the discrepancy, but did not get any
satisfactory answers, and reported the matter to the police. The scene was
attended by the police.”
