Examining an ultrasound scan of your unborn child is a nerve-racking moment for most parents . But any worries that Ed and Dee Parsons may have harboured quickly faded when they saw their baby in the womb at 20 weeks . The child was making an unmistakable V-sign – the victory gesture associated with Winston Churchill and , latterly , with world peace . The baby formed a V symbol with its tiny fingers while in mother Dee Parson 's womb during a scan . ‘ The sonographer could n't believe it – she said she had never seen anything like it before , ’ said Mrs Parsons , 35 . ‘ It ’ s nice to have such an iconic image of peace when there ’ s so much unrest all around us . It was very reassuring . She said she and her husband , also 35 , were feeling weighed down by negative global events and the death of someone close to them . ‘ We were thinking , we ’ re bringing this child into the world at such a horrible time , ’ she added . ‘ But then this happened , we couldn ’ t quite believe what we were seeing . 'All our friends said they thought it was such a positive , happy symbol. ’ The couple , who live in Godalming , Surrey , and run an event production business , are thinking of calling the baby Winston if it is a boy . ‘ It ’ s growing on us , ’ Mrs Parsons said . ‘ But for now we are calling it peace-baby , that ’ s our nickname. ’ Mrs Parsons , who has a daughter , Grace , six , from a previous marriage , said that in the 12-week scan the child had given a clear thumbs-up . Churchill is reported to have once said : ‘ All babies look like me .
