“There was a time before ultrasound that we didn’t realize that movement happened before 16 – 17 weeks. But now with ultrasound you can see that little seven week baby moving, just slight movement, and it’s the first movement of life.
But by the time that baby is nine weeks, 10 weeks old, it’s utilizing the whole uterine cavity and you’ll see the babies waving in the womb, and flipping and sucking their thumbs, and what happens then, when I can introduce that ultrasound to the woman, even when she’s considering abortion, we have found that over 80 to 90% will choose to carry that baby to term, just from seeing the baby on the ultrasound.”
Shari Richard, Ultrasound technician on “Time for hope” Christian television show, Dr. Freda Crews, Host, taped September 2010
Richard does not offer any studies to back up the 80 – 90% statistic. Available studies vary on how effective ultrasounds are in dissuading women from aborting. However there are many, many anecdotal stories of women who have seen an ultrasound of their baby and changed their minds about the abortion they were planning.
Richard then said:
“You know, I personally suffered the pain and the grief and the complications related to abortion when I was 18 years old, and I had complications, long-term complications, that developed into a molar pregnancy, where my uterus ruptured, turned into cancer, the doctor told me I couldn’t have children. Then I went into ultrasound school and I saw the blobs of tissue that I thought I aborted were babies, now babies I couldn’t have, and when I would do ultrasounds on women, they told me to turn the monitors away from women considering abortion and I said, I can’t do this, because I was lied to, and I was suffering the grief and pain.”
Richard describes how the babies she sees on ultrasound seem to have their own personalities even before birth:
And these ultrasound babies are so cute because now, the window to the womb is open and you can’t deny that this is a little baby that has personality, that’s jumping, that’s moving.”

“You know it’s interesting, because I see more babies in the womb that outside, I know their personalities. I know what they do in that large, warm swimming pool. I can tell when they’re sleeping and when they’re waking up.”

Absolutely. Thank Gd and the inventors of better and better ultrasound machines.
Here’s a ultrasound video of a precious smiling baby in the womb:

Thank you! I worked on the very first 3D ultrasound for GE Medical. It was a very fun program for my team. (GE contracted us to design a specific assembly within).
We had a fully functional prototype unit in the lab for testing but none of the engineers knew how use it in a meaningful way. The wife of one of the lab technicians was pregnant at the time and she agreed to come in for "science". Someone knew a medical Doctor who came into our lab to give a little instruction on using an ultrasound.
Picture this pregnant girl lying on a desk in an empty cubical with a team of engineers peeking over the cube walls. She was a good sport and humorous about the whole experience. Her reward was some of the most amazing screen captures of a perfect tiny infant inside her. We only had an idea how good the images were compared to what was the technology of the day but the good Doctor was completely blown away by what he could see and do with the new machine.
A very funny moment, the Dr asked the couple if they wanted to know "boy or girl?". They both instantly said no. Unfortunately the image clarity was so good in that region that it didn't take an anatomy expert to know that they would be having a son. Everyone was laughing and snickering like 5th graders.
Probably one of the most satisfying times for me in engineering.
Amazing story. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! I’ve been fighting infertility and kicking its ass for 20 years, so I have lived through the heart beat detectable at 7 weeks then to 6 1/2 weeks then to 6 weeks. The images are amazing. I finally got to see 3d on my last. Very cool work, indeed. Thanks.
Check out the book “From Conception to Birth” that shows the day by day development of a baby in the womb.
Breath taking.
