Hello, my name is Ronna. I am the mother of this awesome little footprint. My husband took this photo of me when I was eight or nine months along. The baby is my daughter, Makenna and she was born on July 21st, 2001. She was getting a bit restless and started to stretch. I told my husband to grab the camera and see if he could snap a shot or two and this is what we caught. I can guarantee that this photo has not been altered in any way. The photo was taken with a Sony Machiva, the one with a floppy disk, so I do not have a high res image or negative to get it printed in high quality. I sent this photo to several of my friends and family as I though it was so cute. Imagine how surprised I was when a friend pointed this out to me then I realized it was all over the internet! I was 30 when I had her and her foot was maybe a little under two inches at the time of the photo. She was born on time and weighed in at 8lbs 4oz. I can't remember if she was 21 1/2" or if that was my son, but I think that was her length. I welcome anyone who thinks this was not real because I was there and I was feeling every kick! I even have the light mole bellow my belly button to prove it. Yes, God does show us true miracles every day we just need to open our eyes to see them. |

I saw this picture on a photo contest I just entered. Check it out . Seems a little strange that someone would enter this contest for a 200 dollar prize if they could get a lot more on oprah.http://www.competico.com/photo/baby-foot |

LJ is partially right when s/he says the baby's foot would have to have torn through the uterus for this image to have been possible. Really, the baby's foot would have had to have torn through the uterus, PLUS the abdominal fascia, the rectus abdominus muscles, and perhaps an inch of fat, before coming to press directly on the underside of the skin (which is what would yield a photo that clearly defined). Tammy got it right when she alluded to the "inches of tissue" between the baby's foot and the skin. If you want a rough approximation of what this might look like in real life, press a babie's foot )or other object) firmly against a one-or-two-inch thick piece of steak and see what kind of detail and definition you get to see on the other side.
But, as others have suggested, albeit a hoax it's VERY well done. |

Tammy is incorrect...when I was around 8 months pregnant with my second child a similiar thing happened to me when she kicked and left it there for a few moments in a stratching position. I was amazed!I could see her toe impressions. Don't know if this pic is real or not but its not like some far fetched, unbelievable picture...instead it simply depicts where we all have come from and the limited space in our mothers womb. I love it!!! Beautiful baby and mommy picture! |

I thought photos like this were a hoax too until my son kicked me about a week before he was born and for a few minutes my husband and I got a very good view of his foot. Never had it happen with my daughter ... but it can and does happen, and it's a wonderful feeling if you're lucky enough to see it.
As for the lady who's gyn said it can't ... I'd look to change love she clearly doesn't have a clue! |

Im sure it is a hoax...pretty amazing looking though! A couple things:
~Tear your uterus? really? LMAO
~You can certainly feel that..but to see so clearly..NOT!
~Foot size shouldn't matter..my kids had big feet when born, long toes and all!
~and Noira..what great timing for your baby to stretch (when a camera was ready to click) |

I think this could be possible but then again, how would you be able to capture this picture without the babys foot moving.

Yes, having just had a baby I believe this is possible. But I would say perhaps that the mother was in labor & her waters had broken, hence seeing so much detail! Some women one second pregnancy or more go about normal day until contractions are real close, as woman who posted this stated taking this photo made her late for occasion she was attending!! Someone asked wot the lumps on foot are - toes & ball of foot. My babies feet were very long & bony when he was born. |

Technology has the ability; But God is so much bigger than all things and possibilities you have mentioned!! With that being said if technology can, can you image what God could do..I'm just saying..Yes this can be real |

I am currently 8 months along and i have to take lovenox shots in my stomache due to blood clotting disorders. There is no way this is real. I was promised by 3 doctors that the needle would not hurt the baby..the baby is to far back to have the needle touch him. If the baby could make that imprint I could stick him and hurt him! |

Hi, this is to Ronna. I too would love to talk to you about your photo of Makkena's footprint. I ran across your photo this evening on someone else's site while looking researching my clients' material for a website I'm working on -- and through a Google search wound up here. I thought your photo was fabulous. I wanted to speak with you about your permission in my possible use of it in a website for pre and perinatal education. I would also (forgive me) like to somehow validate that it is in fact authentic. You're likely very weary of everyone's commentary and opinions at this point. Sorry.
Thank you : )

Now I'm a bit baffled with Ronna's comment left saying she's the mom -- sharing all of the details of the event, while a few entries below is Pam (a little over a year later's entry) claiming:
"This pic is for real thats my Niece Brandy and my Great niece Jazzmins foot we have the negitive..and it just prove wierd thing happen all the time..and that is whaat Jazzie foot looks like.."
That entry doesn't add up for me. Wow -- lot of controversy and speculation here.
Ronna states that it was taken without a neg, as the image was captured electronically and not via film. So hmmm. |
