Mum jokes she has 'sweariest baby ever' after daughter gives middle finger in two scans

We all know that kids do the funniest things, but one little girl has left her parents cracking up before she's even been born.

Mum-to-be Ang Slater has joked that her unborn daughter is going to be 'trouble' after she was spotted swearing twice in baby scans.

As such it's been said she could be the 'sweariest baby ever'.

Ang, from Pennsylvania, US, went for an ultrasound when she was 25-weeks pregnant last month on March 11 and was left stunned when her baby girl made some unmistakable hand gestures - giving the middle finger in one image and sticking two fingers up in another.

The expectant parent recalls how she burst out laughing when she was 'flipped off' by her little girl and said she suspects she'll be just like her 'free-willed' and 'straight-to-the point' mum.

The 33-year-old has since shared footage from the 4D baby scans, which show the tot wriggling around in the womb before she appears to aim her middle finger directly at her mum.

Soon after she appeared to stick up two fingers in a similar manner to Liam Gallagher, though Ang said it could be a 'peace' sign as a way of apologising for earlier 'flipping her off'.

The first-time mum believes the expressive gestures show off her daughter's cheeky character and are symbolic of all that she's been through, as Ang had fertility treatment to conceive.

She said: "I could possibly have the sweariest baby ever if she's doing that in the womb.

"Towards the end of the ultrasound she actually flipped us off on both hands at different times and towards the very end she did the peace sign.

"When she put her middle finger up I just started laughing because I kind of have that kind of attitude myself so it was just really funny I was like 'oh, she's like me already we're in trouble'.

"I'm a little nervous. I think she's going to be a lot like me and that scares me a little bit. I'd say I'm pretty free-willed, blunt and straight to the point.

"I thought her doing the peace sign was really cute. It was kind of like 'ok I flipped you off but peace everything is good'."

Ang, a nurse practitioner has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that affects how the ovaries work and spent a year and a half trying to conceive before starting fertility treatment.

After having a medicated Intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycle she fell pregnant last September and now cannot wait for her new arrival who is due in June.

She added: "I had difficulty getting pregnant and went through fertility treatment.

"It was really difficult because you have all this excitement at the opportunity that this medication can really help you and it didn't take that long, it only took four cycles, but then month after month, there's a lot of letdowns because you think 'this could be it'.

"And then you wait two weeks after the treatment to take a pregnancy test and you start to get period symptoms but also they're the same symptoms of pregnancy, so it's a lot of disappointment and anticipation.

"When I got the positive pregnancy test I didn't believe it and literally took 30 tests and I still didn't believe it, then had two blood tests and still didn't believe it, and truthfully, I still don't believe it.

"I feel like the middle finger and peace sign shows the baby's character and just like everything I went through."
