How will my baby look in the first moments after labour?

Not very pretty. You might find that your newborn might have a pointed head (more common with vaginal deliveries) and his face looks squashed up. Many people have described the looks of newborns as "strange", "ET-lookalike" or just "ugly". It's because they've spent so much time soaked in amniotic fluid that their skin is wrinkly too. Not to worry. I'm sure you'll still feel like your baby is the most beautiful human in the world, and thankfully he will start looking more and more like a cuddly newborn in days to come. http://www.pregnancyandbaby.com/baby/articles/941853/changes-to-your-babys-head
