An expectant mum has asked for advice online about whether her baby will be born with a Scouse accent.

Posting on the "Mums advice" page on Facebook, the anonymous mum-to-be asked whether her baby would come out with a Scouse accent.

The hilarious post read: "I'm pregnant, and the dad is a scouser. Will my baby be born with a scouse accent?"

Unsure whether the question was a wind-up, members of the page posted their responses to the crazy query online.

Some dismissed the post as a joke, with one mum commenting: "I'm a scouser and all my kids where born wearing LFC shirts and singing you'll never walk alone. True story."

Another joked: "My husband is COVERED in tattoos, our baby boy born in March last year came out with a full leg and arm sleeve - have to say it wasn't my taste."

Other members of the Facebook page couldn't believe the question was real. One mum said: "This can't be serious....no one is born with an accent, you pick it up as you grow up depending on the accents around you".

Whether the question was real or a wind-up, we love the idea of a baby being born with a Scouse accent... but hopefully the mum-to-be wasn't seriously wondering whether her newborn would come out calling her "queen".
