Expectant parents can now hold their babies right in their hands even before the babies are born thanks to new technological innovation.
 
Expectant mothers and fathers will no longer have to wait until their child is born to hold their baby - all thanks to 3D printing.

According to Mirror Online, a tech company, Baby:Boo, helps parents-to-be create a life-like replica of their baby using a special scan of the pregnant woman's womb. That image is then sent off to be rendered into a 360 degree format, and printed in 3D.

Baby:Boo offers the 3D baby model in either a box to be held, or mounted in a frame for parents who may wish to display it in their home.
 
Katie Kermode, who owns Baby:Boo, said: "People do think it's a little odd but it's similar to creating casts of baby's feet or hands. It's actually a really lovely keepsake to cherish."

And the company, based in Tarleton, Lancs, claims to be very popular with the parents of tomorrow who are desperate to cough up £150 for the service.

Mrs Kermode, 32, built the company after having two miscarriages. She is now a mother of two however, having since had children Alfie, three, and Sienna, two, with sales director dad Craig.

Her first customer, Layla Macmillan, approached the company when she became pregnant for the fourth time - and she loves the service.

The 28-year-old, whose children are Paige, seven, Imogen, five and Autumn, who is nine-months-old, said:"Being a photographer, I love things like that and thought it was an amazing idea.
"Having images and a DVD of your baby is one thing, but having a real model to hold is so unique. It is so special to be able to hold a caste of your baby's face before it is even born. With Autumn, we had a bonding scan which you can have between 29 and 31 weeks.

"This is the scan where they can see all the features and you get an idea of what your baby will look like.
 I have got photographs of Autumn when she was seven hours old and she looks exactly the same as in her bonding scan."
