A Mom-to-be Karen McMartin doesn’t have to wait for a sonogram to get an idea of what her child is going to look like.The pregnant woman can see an outline of her baby on her burgeoning belly. She discovered the print on her tummy when she was just 25-weeks pregnant and some colleagues at her hair salon were making jokes about her protruding belly button.
“Then she lifted her head up and all of a sudden the shape of her tummy changed — and this face just appeared.”What everyone is seeing is not actually the face of McMartin’s unborn child, but an illusion. The Sun spoke to medical expert Dr. Carol Cooper who explained that the “face” was actually a trick that was caused by her swollen belly button, an old bellybutton piercing, veins and stretch marks.She added: “The paler area that forms the ‘face’ may well be the baby’s back.” Illusion or not, it still makes for a pretty cool picture.
