MUM-to-be Caroline Barnes shows that her unborn baby could be a real wild child by making a V-sign in the womb.
In rude health...unborn baby flicks V-sign in ultrasound pic during check-up
The ultrasound image, recorded at 23 weeks, reveals the youngster firmly sticking two fingers up.
TV location manager Caroline, 35, of Dulwich, South East London, said: The nurse couldnt stop laughing. The baby stayed like it for the whole session.
Carolines fiancé Dave Wright, 36, said: We dont mind what sex the baby is, but well have to teach it some manners.
On the other hand the sign could be one of confidence like the V shown by wartime PM Winston Churchill.

In America the V-sign stands for "Peace". What does it mean in your culture?
He's a Vulcan. Live long and prosper. At least we know he's not a Texas Longhorn.
Edit: Excuse me, I made the assumption that the baby is a boy. I don't know that for sure. I can't tell if it's got a "thing" or not. Never was good at reading those ultrasounds.
hahaha.. that was cute. maybe, that was pure coincedental. as for me, it's cool. it's a good thing that the baby didn't do the 'rock on' hand sign..
cool! hopefully he grows up to be a cool and peace loving lad
In Britain it means F you. It comes from the practice of chopping off the middle finger of archers. People would give the V sign to show they still had their finger.
When a piscating wizard floods every thread I can understand why people leave.
Those that think this is some magnificent sign cleary do not have children. It is very common for babies to do that, especially when they are attempting to put their fingers in their mouth.
At least they didn't try to claim they had seen the image of Jesus' or Mary's face in the ultrasound.
maybe its Richard Nixon reincarnated?
I love this gesture...it's my favorite one to make, of course here in Chicago, most people have no clue what I'm doing.
The archer story is actually a (quite popular) urban myth. The suggestion about the archers appears to have arisen sometime in the late 1900's and it makes such clear and clever sense that it spread like wildfire (particularly in the 90's). Unfortunately though, there is no evidence to support it from any records of the hundred years war, and it appears as though the gesture itself may have arisen in Britain as late as the 1920's.
