Moms to hold their babies before they are born!

New York: A US company is offering expecting mothers a life-size 3D replica of their unborn baby.

The company, 3D Babies, uses 3D or 4D sonograms to create a doll that resembles the baby while he or she is still in the womb.

The fetus figurines are available in three sizes: life-size i.e 20 cm, half-size i.e 10 cm and mini i.e 5 cm. Parents can choose from one of two positions depending on whether they want the baby's gender to be clear.

They can also choose the doll's skin tone - light, medium or dark, 'New York Daily News' reported.

"Our ultimate goal is to bring a smile to the faces of parents, grandparents, and other family members as they recall the day that they met their little one," the company said."This product will become a treasured family heirloom," it said.

This isn't the first time 3D printers have been used for prenatal products. In November 2012, a Japanese company started making 3.6-inch white fetus models inside a clear block meant to resemble the mother's body.
