I'm sure it would amplify my anxiety! My son was IVF so we already have images of him most parents would never see (e.g. blast stage), but having a long term ultrasound time lapse of those 9 months of my son would be pretty amazing.

I’m not sure how safe that would be. I’m a radiologist and we practice with a principle called “as low as reasonably achievable” to minimize harm. While ultrasound is not ionizing radiation it does cause tissue heating. 24/7 ultrasound is a huge increase from our current practice and seems medically unnecessary beyond being “cool”.

  This sounds cooler than it is. I showed my son his ultrasounds… stills and videos. He didn’t care.

    Be patient, I’ll bet he appreciates them later in life.

      I'm later in life. It's still not that interesting.

    Baby pictures are mementos for the parents, not the kids.

  What about a couple of times a day though? That's more than we do now but a lot less than "24/7". More than enough for a timelapse, I'd think.
