3d scanner baby image
Lis
NOT A 3D. Just a normal scan that is more detailed and they go through thoroughly looking for defects etc. and give you a better picture of what is going on with your child...I am just a bit nervous about an appt I have on Wednesday.

I'm assuming you mean the 20 week one? Here in UK we call that anomaly scan. The scan is a routine one offered to all pregnant women about 20 weeks into their pregnancy and is designed to screen for any potential problems with the organs, skeleton, skin and development. Some places can also tell you the sex.
This is an enjoyable scan for most parents and the likelihood of a problem is small- in less than 2% of scans we detect a problem and in most of those the problem is minor. Some major problems can also be detected at previous scans so if all looked healthy at your 12 week scan, and you've not had any problems since, then chances are high your baby is fine.
The scan itself is like all ultrasounds- performed by a qualified doctor, midwife or sonographer ina darkened room, where ultrasound jelly is applied to your abdomen then the scanner placed on your bump to give the image on screen. The scan lasts about half an hour, and you'll be given pictures of your baby afterwards.
Some places say you need a full bladder, but I don't recommend this after 16 weeks as it can actually obscure the view.
Good luck and congratulations on your baby.

Can you photo-copy or scan a baby's ultrascan photo???
carrienich
I had my scan done yesterday and came into work to show my colleagues and to copy and scan it so as to send it to family overseas, but one of the girls says that you cant do this as it ruins the picture, or something???
Can you tell me if this is true??? Have any of you girls out there done this???
Its not one of the modern 3D ones just the usual black and white traditionale pciture.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I think your friend is talking about the fact that, long-term, the scan picture will fade from heat and light (as the paper and printing is the same as the old fax machines), but the light from the photocopier or scanner will not instantly ruin your scan picture.
Copying and scanning your ultrasound is actually the only way to guarantee you have a truly permanent record of your scan, because the printout the technician gave you will eventually fade. I have copied and scanned all of my ultrasound pictures onto my laptop, with NO problem whatsoever!
