“If you could touch him, would that let you know what he’s like?” her doctor asked.

Twenty weeks pregnant, Brazilian mom-to-be Tatiana Guerra, 30, made a doctor’s appointment for her first ultrasound. Blind for almost half of her life, Guerra lost her sight at age 17.

Unable to experience the special moment through her sight like most expectant mothers, Guerra was given a unique, downright incredible way to “see” her unborn child for the first time.

Through the use of 3D printing technology, her doctor rendered a mold of her ultrasound, allowing Guerra to picture her unborn baby boy Murilo using her sense of touch.

Moments like this show how amazing and beautiful advances in technology can be.

The special moment was caught on video by Huggies Brazil, now in the midst of a new campaign focused on capturing the special moments between mothers and their sons. Check it out below.
