Can foetus feel when an ultrasound image of him/her is taken
Question Posted Tuesday August 7 2007, 12:27 am
I had an ultrasound image taken of my baby at about 13 weeks. Immediately after the picture was taken, I could see on the screen my baby flailing his arms and legs; and generally moving about in my womb. Did the picture taking impact upon him at all? I mean, did he know / feel the machine taking his picture? I am worried it might affect him adversely.

Sometimes the baby gets uncomfortable and may move around.
