Infant?!?

I was coding maternity charts like usual, and I got one that said, "Spontaneous vertex delivery of live female INFANT."  Why emphasize the word "infant"?  It was hand-written so it couldn't be a caps lock issue.  So why draw attention to the one part of the phrase that isn't a variable?  Was the midwife expecting it to be a middle-aged man?  Or a puppy?  Or a hamster?

I for one am very glad it was an infant.  I have no idea how to code the spontaneous vertex delivery of a hamster.
