Interesting article from Austraila ;
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,12586091%255E23289,00.html
WHEN the midwife passed Andrew and Megan O'Brien their new baby,
they were thrilled to notice that he was a boy, even though an
earlier ultrasound had foretold a girl.
Their only concern was that they couldn't think of a name for
him.
But a few days later, after tests, the baby was diagnosed with
congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) – a condition where the
baby's adrenal glands overproduce a male hormone before birth,
causing "virilisation" of the genitalia and making a baby girl
look like a boy.
