"Unto us is born a son..."

So sings the carol; however, the long-held alternative view that children are brought by the stork may have some credence. Umbilical artery doppler from a third-trimester obstetric ultrasound shows a definite avian form perched next to the entwined vessels of the cord.
Despite an eagle-eyed search of the amniotic cavity no other birds (nor any bees) were found. The stork's beak is empty, consistent with a developing intrauterine gestation. Indeed, not long afterwards the mother delivered a baby boy. David J E Lord | |
