I expect I'll be a lone voice on this matter but here goes.
I never had scans. Didn't see the point. I think routine scanning is an expensive waste of NHS money and regularly scares women during pregnancy.
I've lost count of the number of women who've had needless, sleepless nights because of comments made or action taken as a result of scans.
I don't need them for bonding. I can bond perfectly well without a grainy picture.
Yet the vast majority of all women I meet seem to love scans. Why?
