Yes. That really was one of the questions on the visa application that I recently submitted for Bundle of Joy. However, I didn't really answer it with 'birth canal'. The UK Border agency probably wouldn't see the funny side. I've noticed that immigration officials don't have much of a sense of humour.
You might be wondering why she needs a visa? Well, it's no longer possible to arrive in London, pop out a child, and for the child to have a british passport. So, if we travel outside of Britain, they can refuse to let her back in.
Unfortunately, there was no getting around the fact that I had to fill out that form - even though it was clearly not designed with newborn babies in mind. 'No', she has not committed any acts of genocide. 'No', she has not held any terrorist views. 'No', I do not know of any reason why she might not be considered of good character. Unless putting your feet in your dirty nappy and waving them around in the air counts?! 'Please refer to date of birth'. She is only 3 months old ....
