During a previous pregnancy, a scan revealed severe abnormalities with the baby. This is the real reason for ultrasounds during pregnancy.
It irks me somewhat to see people getting so flippant about scans. I know I'm going to have to bite my tongue (so to speak) when I get to 2nd Tri and see people squealing about being excited for their 20 week "gender" scan - it's an anomaly scan.
Yes, I know that makes me sound silly and petty, especially since my situation was a rare one. However I feel that ultrasound scanning is a vital part of antenatal care and we should not abuse it.
