A cryptic story for you! :D
A new baby was born in a hospital.
On the very same day at night, a nurse was making her rounds when, to her utter dismay, she found the baby had died.
The hospital, to cover up the death, immediately prepared a substitute baby.
The mother was unconscious when she gave birth to her baby, so she hadn't yet seen the baby.
Besides, the substitute baby looked exactly like the dead baby so that there was no way the mother would be able to tell the difference.
Next day, as soon as the mother saw the baby, her face immediately turned into an expression of horror and she screeched loudly:
"This thing is not my baby!!!!"

"This thing is not my baby!!!!"
If she hadn't seen her baby then why would she knows that the substitute wasn't her baby ?
Or maybe the mother knew subconsciously that her baby died, even though she has been unconscious since before the baby was born.
This a good one, Saya-san. :) Thank you for this story.
I'm guessing the nurse replaced an alive baby that looked as dead as the mother's dead baby?
It didn't look like her newborn child. It looked like a corpse.
I mean, since it was stated that the babies look the same, it shouldn't be because the substituted baby is in different color/race, or they mixed up the gender. hmm so yeah, guess the mom killed the baby that's why she know it isn't hers.
the substitute baby looked exactly like the dead baby
looked exactly like the
dead
baby
dead
baby
oh god haha
It is creepy that how they can provide a baby subtitute..
or maybe mother's instinct :D
2. "This thing is not my baby!!!!" = not a real baby. doll?
3. it should be a monster baby?
not good at guessing Orz
Its exam week :'(
I agree with the mother killing the baby theory.
Also, when to mother sees the "new" baby, she doesn't say "Oh no, my baby is dead" but "That's not my baby", meaning that she do reaaly recognize that, dead or not, the baby who's there is not hers (but, ok, I admit that this coulb be explaine by her being in denial...)
Two other point kind of bother me here:
1) the dead of newborn babies is not really uncommon, it happens quite frequently (can be because of medical conditions for example), so why would the hospital staff think that this particuliar baby should be replaced by another one? Why don't they just tell the mother that, sadly, her baby died soon after birth ? Did THEY do something bad (like medical error)?
2) Does all the hospiatls have a bunch of "remplacement babies" they can use just in case? I mean : where did they find the new baby? Where was it coming from? Since I don't agree with the "dead new baby" theory, it's a big question for me...
EXCEPT if the real baby died in a way that leaves some traces (like strangulation marks or something) and then they replaced the baby by another dead baby (from the morgue, then) just so that it was impossible to say how the real baby really had died...
This, then, could go with the "mother killed her baby" theory : she strangled the baby, then the baby has strangulations marks ; the nurse sees it and think "Oops, the mother could sue us because of our lack in security" and decides to replace the baby by another dead baby who has no strangulation marks, so they can tell the mother that her baby died in a "natural" way, not knowing that the mother actually knows that it's not true...
So, as I said before : where do the new baby come from ? If they can replace the dead baby, it's because they have babies they can "give away", but they couldn't give away babies who "belong" to other parents, so...
MAYBE there is some kind of "secret lab" in the hospital where they create babies in a non-natural way (completely in vitro or something). The babies created there are then not carried by a mother and have no ombilical cord and therefor no belly button.
When they "prepared" the nex baby, they paid attention to the skintone, the eye colour, etc. BUT they didn't think of the fact that he doesn't have a belly button and that's how the mother recognized that it couldn't be her baby.
By the way...Hello Saya :) I'm sorry I didn't greet you in my first comment, it was kind of rude of me. It is a very nice blog you've got here. Thanks for all the hard work ^^
If mom killed the baby, it's understandable that she would freak out. It's more likely she would have killed it in between postpartum depression and inability to raise a child, so finding out it had survived would not only be confusing, and saddle her with a baby she didn't want, but wrack her with guilt.
The nurse didn't say there was a mother who died in birth or anything about where they got the 'substitute.' just that they gave her a it. It could have been a doll or something.
The nurse says they look exactly alike, other wise I might have assumed it was a race joke (but I don't think Saya would post those)
So it could be that the baby didn't look like the right woman's baby. Or, more in the scary nurse theory, that she gave her a different sickly or dead baby (or the doll or whatever in my other post could look like one).
Maybe her baby died due to birth defects/deformity. The nurse got her another deformed child, and the mother is in denial.
but I got another opinion...
the mother did not want the child...
so, even if the baby is hers, she still gonna say "this thing is not my baby"...
The mother is a ghost or devil.etc.... so she knew for a fact that her baby wouldn't be normal and maybe because the baby was a ghost too therefore it was not breathing. That's why she realizes from the first glance that its not her baby
