Claim: Photo showing a foetus footprints on the mother's belly.
Fact-check: Digitally created image shared as picture of a foetus's footprints on the mother's belly - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shared in the post is most likely digitally created artwork. several media agencies including the 'ap news' confirmed it as a manipulated image. while it is possible to see the bulge of a foetus's limbs during pregnancy, doctors confirm that the details of a foot would not be visible because it would be inside the uterine wall. lev dolgachov, an estonia-based photographer, created a similar artwork of a pregnant belly with a baby footprint in 2017. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
