The internet has been left in stitches over incredible photos showing a baby making a “cross old man’s face” at doctors moments after she is born.
Isabela Pereira de Jesus was born at a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on February 13 via caesarean section.
On-hand to capture the occasion was local professional photographer, Rodrigo Kunstmann, who had been hired by Isabela’s mother, Daiane de Jesus Barbosa.
Speaking to Brazilian magazine Crescer, he said the obstetrician had been attempting to get the wee bub to cry before proceeding to cut the umbilical cord.
“She opened her eyes wide but did not cry. The doctor even had to say, ‘cry, Isa!’,” Kunstmann said.

“She made that serious expression and only started crying after the umbilical cord was cut.”
Healthline reports a baby’s first cry out of the womb helps make sure their lungs are working, as well as clearing out extra fluid in the lungs, nose and mouth.
Isabela’s mother said she couldn’t be more delighted her youngster has found fame and has since hailed her defiant expression as “courageous”.
“My baby was born courageous,” she told Brazilian news outlet G1, Daily Mail reports.
“It’s a meme already. She always wrinkles her forehead when changing diapers and nursing.
“Isabela was supposed to be born on the 20th, but she chose her day already showing her personality.”
The photos, also shared by Kunstmann to his Facebook page, have already gone viral with many who’ve seen the snaps moved to comment on the baby’s hilarious expression.
One person joked: “ Poor munchkin. She’s only been on the planet for a few minutes and she has had enough.”
While another said: “Not only the frown. Look at those eyes, if looks can kill, they are like daggers.”
A third chimed in: “So many babies look like cross, old men when first born!”
A few commenting also said they thought the baby’s expression could well be an indication she was an old soul and “had been here before”.
“Here for a reason and I’m quite certain she’s been here before,” wrote one.
A second said: “How cute!” She’s an old soul, just been born, looks around and thinks ‘Oh, God, not here again! Put me back, put me back!’”
Another said: “That’s the look of reincarnation. Oh no! Not this place again!”
