One of the most exciting things about expecting a baby has to be those visits to the gynaecologist for the ultrasound scan. During the scan, you get an opportunity to see your unborn baby, and how he/she is doing while tucked safely inside mommy's belly.

With the rise of modern technology, footage from ultrasound scans give a pretty clear picture to parents-to-be on the progress of their baby as they develop over time.

Parents Lucy Bearley and Stuart Barrett were lucky to witness an incredible sight during a 4D scan. Their unborn son turned to the camera during the scan and 'waved' at them, an incredible moment for any parent-to-be to witness. 

Speaking to The Sun, Lucy said: "I was lying on my side so it was difficult to see much really. Stuart suddenly said he thought he saw him waving so we asked the lady to rewind the footage. Luckily she had caught the moment and sure enough when we looked there he was, not only waving but turning to look right at us."
