Imagine the joy of a mother who sees an ultrasound of her unborn baby for the first time. It surely is an unforgettable moment when she catches a glimpse of her baby growing inside her. But the visually impaired mothers miss out on such a beautiful lifetime experience.

This lucky mother, Tatiana Guerra however got an unexpected surprise. A doctor used a 3D printer to create a life sized image of her baby’s face so that she could feel what it looks like. The happiness on her face as she touches her baby’s face for the first time is absolutely heartwarming.

30-year-old Guerra is from Brazil and she lost her eyesight at the age of 17.

The Brazilian branch of the Huggies diaper company posted a video on YouTube capturing this touching moment. The video shows Guerra being examined 20 weeks into her pregnancy. At first, the doctor describes what he sees. Then a 3D printer converts the ultrasound image into a relief sculpture of the baby's face, and Tatiana dissolves into tears as her fingers trace the features of the son she plans to name Murilo.

See her moving reaction in this video:
