For many parents, seeing the ultrasound of their child can be an important part of the pregnancy experience. But what if one (or both) of the parents are blind? Now, thanks to 3D ultrasound technology, blind parents, too, can “see” their baby in utero.
This video, created by Huggies, shows what it’s like for one mother, Tatiana Guerra, to feel her unborn child’s face for the first time. In the promo, Guerra, who lost her vision at 17, comes in for an ultrasound and goes from hearing a description of what the baby looks like to actually feeling its face after a 3D printer finishes creating a touchable likeness of the baby’s head.
