Blind Mom-to-Be “Sees” Unborn Baby Via 3D- Printed Ultrasound

A blind mother was able to "see" her unborn baby thanks to the advancement of 3D printing.

The Brazilian branch of Huggies, the diaper company, worked with an ad agency to film "Meeting Murilo", in which the expectant mom is given a 3D mold version of her sonogram photo, according to CNET.

Tatiana Guerra, 30, who lost her sight when she was 17, was five months pregnant with her second child during the time of the sonogram, NBC News reported.

In the video, Guerra begins the appointment by asking the doctor to describe her son, but then starts explaining what she thinks he looks like.

"Oh, I imagine him. Well, his nose like a little potato," the mom-to-be tells her doctor.

She has no idea the makers of the film were creating the 3D sculpture of her son while her doctor was performing the sonogram.

Guerra exclaims when she is given the 3D mold of her son, touching her baby's printed face and reading outloud the words, "I am your son," spelled out in braille.

The video has gone viral since it was published April 30. The ad has been viewed over 4 million times on YouTube as of Friday, according to NBC News.
