To scan or not to scan?
This is what Germany has just passed:

Germany has passed a new law, for the protection of babies in utero, FORBIDDING pregnancy scans unless there is a REAL medical need for it.

Here is their reasoning for this law (translated):

"The high intensity of ultrasound necessary for these images carries a potential risk for the unborn child, particularly as the absorption of these in the bone is significantly increased during early development of the osseous tissue.

Furthermore, no reliable studies evaluating the consequences of this application exist.

Therefore the practice of using ultrasound scans for non-medical use - for example just to obtain a picture of the foetus - without a medical need having been established, is prohibited."

„Die für die Bildgebung notwendigen hohen Ultraschallintensitäten sind mit einem potenziellen Risiko für das Ungeborene verbunden, insbesondere da mit Beginn der Knochenbildung wesentlich mehr Schallenergie am Knochen absorbiert wird. Darüber hinaus fehlen verlässliche Untersuchungen über die Folgen dieser Anwendung [...]. Daher werden Ultraschallanwendungen zu einem nichtmedizinischen Zweck, wie z.B. zur reinen Bildgebung am Fötus („Babykino“), ohne dass eine ärztliche Indikation gestellt wurde, untersagt […].“
