I had my scan done yesterday and came into work to show my colleagues and to copy and scan it so as to send it to family overseas, but one of the girls says that you cant do this as it ruins the picture, or something???
Can you tell me if this is true??? Have any of you girls out there done this???
Its not one of the modern 3D ones just the usual black and white traditionale pciture.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I think your friend is talking about the fact that, long-term, the scan picture will fade from heat and light (as the paper and printing is the same as the old fax machines), but the light from the photocopier or scanner will not instantly ruin your scan picture.
Copying and scanning your ultrasound is actually the only way to guarantee you have a truly permanent record of your scan, because the printout the technician gave you will eventually fade. I have copied and scanned all of my ultrasound pictures onto my laptop, with NO problem whatsoever!

You could always just make a copy of the pic and then scan that or what I did since I didn't have a scanner was take a picture of it with my digital camera and then upload that. It worked really good and turned out nice. Congrats!

Can You Scan Ultrasound Pictures

Congrats! Yes, I've had 3 scans and they always give you one or two pictures for free. My first scan was at 7 weeks -- to do dating.

my boyfriend did not scan the baby u/s pics. He had to take photographs of the pictures then upload it to hte computer. He had to put the pictures on a glass with a light behind it aswell..it was extremely challenging he said but that is what worked for him.

I've never heard that before. I made copies of mine and they were okay, the origninal wasn't harmed in any way.

I made several copies of mine for the hubbies parents since they live overseas, and they were fine. I made regular photocopies, as well as taking them to a Kodak picture maker and making copies of the 3D ones there.

I photo copied mine and they were fine. Just don't laminate them!!! The paper is heat sensitive.

I scanned mine and it didn't mess them up at all.

We scanned ours, and we had both the traditional and 3D pictures. Didn't hurt it in the least :)
