“Photo showing a foetus footprints on the mother’s belly”
What FACTLY found
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
