When new mother Samantha Lines laid eyes on her daughter for the first time, she was a bit shocked. Her newborn baby had two teeth in his mouth, which is not very common – teeth don’t usually grow in babies until they are six months old.
The 29-year-old barmaid gave birth to her daughter Bella-Rose at the beginning of February this year at a maternity hospital in Nuneaton.
She considers her first child a small miracle, as she had many years of difficulty conceiving and also miscarried. “The teeth were such an extra surprise,” Samantha commented on nature’s play. Check out the photos HERE.
What happened to me in the maternity ward: Real experiences. Have you experienced this too?
The British woman gave birth to a baby girl by caesarean section, because the labor was stuck and did not progress. So when she saw the little girl for the first time, she was, as she describes, a little drugged up with pain medication. Her partner Jason Coombs (42) accompanied her during the birth.
By the way – Titus Livius in 59 BC considered natal teeth – i.e. the dentition with which a child is already born – to be a harbinger of disaster. And such Caius Plinius Secundus in 23 BC believed that if this anomaly appeared in a boy, he would have a great future, while it was a bad omen for a girl.
Right in England it was said that a child born with teeth would make an excellent soldier, while in France and Italy it was said that this fact guaranteed the conquest of the world.
This anomaly occurs in one in several thousand births. Anyway, doctors don’t know exactly why this happens, and sometimes they recommend pulling out the teeth if, for example, the baby can’t suck because of them.
