Baby gives the thumbs up in hospital scan

A mother-to-be is in little doubt that her baby boy is doing fine - after he gave her the thumbs-up in a hospital scan.

Marie Boswell, 35, says friends and family have been stunned by her son's distinctive 'ok' sign in the 20-week scan taken at Wythenshawe Hospital.

Marie, of Wythenshawe, Manchester, said: "It's really funny, the thumb is so clear - we can't believe it.

Gerry Jackson, lead sonographer at Wythenshawe Hospital said: "It is very unusual to see a baby's thumbs so clearly. It is lovely we have been able to get such a clear image for this lady."
