A hospital in London is offering much higher quality scans than ever before to proud parents to be, launching perhaps a new iBaby trend.
These aren't the blurry, fuzzy ultrasound images of the past. Portland Hospital in London can create 4D images of excellent quality that can be downloaded to any media player. That's right, you can carry precious photos of your little fetus on your iPod!
"Women can visit the clinic, whose celebrity patients have included Victoria Beckham and Sarah Ferguson, in their lunch hour, have a 40-minute scan and then download the high-definition images via a secure website," the Telegraph reported.
This could give birth to the most modern version of "hot or not!" Text your votes for scholarship fund.
