A mum says “the unthinkable happened” when she was handed the wrong baby in a hospital maternity ward and cared for the infant for several hours. “We’ve all seen the movies where the babies get swapped in the hospital, when the parents take the wrong one home,” a mum named Maisie, who lives in the UK, said in a TikTok video. “Never in a million years did I think this was something I’d have to worry about. But yes, it did actually happen to us.

She said she almost “had a heart attack” when she began changing the baby’s diaper to discover it was a boy. “Isabella was definitely born a girl, so I honestly nearly passed out and I pressed that emergency button,” Maisie said in the video. “I was probably being really impatient but nobody turned up for about a minute. So I picked up the baby and I stormed into the office. All I saw was red and I was demanding for them to tell me where Isabella was, because this was not my baby.
