 Lancashire-based company called Baby:Boo is offering a new concept that parents who can’t seem to wait for the arrival of their babies would love – 3D print or real-life replicas of unborn babies faces before they are even born.

 

Owner Katie Kermode, 32, 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.

 

"After I lost two pregnancies I underwent fertility treatment and finally fell on pregnant with Alfie.

 

"But there was no way I could wait for 12 weeks to see everything was okay.

 

"I also has scans throughout, I think being pregnant is a scary time, especially if you have struggled to get pregnant.

 

"It's nice to sit back and enjoy your pregnancy and take some of the stress off.

 

"I found it to be quite addictive.

 

"The NHS aren't there to provide a service for you, it's there to check everything is going well with the pregnancy, there are a list of checks they need to do.

 

"They can't be spending the time cooing over your baby with you."
