Everything's Okay: Unborn baby gives thumbs up from uterus on ultrasound scan


A mother-to-be who was worried about her unborn baby was reassured when she had a hospital scan. For the scan photographs showed an entirely normal baby who was also captured giving the thumbs up.

Expectant mother Donna Sayer, 29, had two scans at a hospital in Canterbury Kent several weeks after becoming pregnant in August.

The pair were delighted when they went for their third scan at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital. It showed their baby's head had reached a normal size and there were no medical concerns.

But Ms Sayer and the nurses laughed when they realised the baby was giving the thumbs-up. Nurse said,"all she could get was its hand giving the thumbs-up as if it was trying to tell us that everything was fine. The image was quite clear.

'We had both been concerned during the two weeks before I had the third scan, but everything is okay. We have shown the photograph to family and friends. They all think it is quite apt.' Donna, from Whitstable, who is due to give birth in May, added: 'Everyone who has seen the picture has been astonished.'
