Clinic found selling moms fake Ultrasound photos of their babies

Clinic found selling moms fake Ultrasound photos of their babies

The mothers also did some digging and discovered that the recycled stock-image was also on the clinic’s website.

Seeing your unborn child for the first time through an ultrasound imaging is one of the best things a soon-to-be parent could experience. But what what would you feel if you found out that the ultrasound photo of your baby isn’t your baby at all?

That’s the dilemma a couple of mothers in Ontario is experiencing, when they found out that a clinic gave them identical ultrasound images.

According to Buzzfeed report, it started when when expecting mother Jenn Cusimano shared her baby’s 3D ultrasound images in a Facebook group for women who are all due in September of this year.

Another woman noticed the striking similarity of her baby’s ultrasound images.

Soon thereafter, a couple more women came forward with the images of their own baby, all of which were the same.

It doesn’t end there.

The mothers also did some digging and discovered that the recycled stock-image was also on the clinic’s website.

The clinic Babyview, when contacted by CTV news, blamed a “technical issue with the printing services” for printing the same photos; they have since offered to do rescans or to give people refunds.

Mom Louise Thompson was one of the women given the stock-image, and now she doubts that the heartbeats she heard of the baby at the clinic weren’t real.

“My husband and I questioned it at the time of purchase because when the ultrasound tech recorded the heartbeat in front of us it was very faint and inaudible,” she said in the Buzzfeed story.

Babyview offered her a partial refund of $50 for a package that had availed for more than $200.

Many of the parents who fell victim to the scam said they wanted the clinic shut down.

“Criminal charges would be even better,” said Louise. “It’s sick that they are taking advantage of people during such an intimate experience. Some of these people have lost other babies or had fertility issues and this company has soiled these memories for money.”
