1. A computer implemented method of generating a simulated image of a baby based on an ultrasound image of a fetus, the method comprising:
acquiring an ultrasound image of the fetus;
using a machine learning model to generate the simulated image of the baby, based on the ultrasound image of the fetus, wherein the simulated image of the baby comprises a prediction of how the fetus will look as a baby;
acquiring supplementary data relating to a parent of the fetus; and
wherein using a machine learning model to generate the simulated image of the baby is further based on the supplementary data.
