I honestly think that all the available home and additional private technology really isn't a good thing.
There's people trying to interprate scans themselves and online, doing pregnancy tests the day after possible conception etc, count ups, count downs, it's almost as though the whole magic of conception and birth has disappeared.
Mother nature designed things in a certain way for a reason, it seems like the more options we have for knowledge, the more we drive our self nuts and lose some of the enjoyment of just "being"

If you had any idea what a 16 week old foetus looked like in real life, I doubt you'd be asking this question.
