A bride-to-be from Valencia who slept with a dwarf on her hen night has given birth to a baby with dwarfism, the Spanish website LasCincoDelDia reports.
Both the woman and her now-husband believed she had conceived during their honeymoon, but the woman was forced to admit to sleeping with the male stripper after questions were raised by friends who attended the hen night. Her husband had repeatedly asked doctors how ‘his’ baby could have been born with dwarfism.
The baby has a condition called achondroplasia; most cases of which are inherited, while others occur when a gene randomly mutates during the development of the egg or sperm.
It is very common in Spain for dwarves to be hired to entertain at hen and stag parties and several websites offer the services of “miniboys” as they are known.
