Blind woman surprised with 3D print of her baby's face during ultrasound

As part of Huggies Brazil's new campaign, visually-impaired mother Tatiana Guerra was able to 'see' her new baby during an ultrasound thanks to 3D printing technology.

Tatiana, 30, was diagnosed with optic neuritis at 17 which causes inflammation of optic nerve and eventually causes blindness.

During her ultrasound, Tatiana asked the daughter to describe her son to her as she could not see him.

The doctor obliged but little did Tatiana know that a team were quickly working to produce a 3D mold of her little boys face for her to feel.

Once it was complete, she was handed the mold which was inscribed with the words "I am your son" in Braille.
