Keywords:
fetal abnormality, pregnants, maternal-fetus relationship, obstetric ultrasoundAbstract
Nowadays the obstetric ultrasound is considered a prenatal period routine. This procedure has inaugurated a new contact with the intrauterine
world, and has anticipated infant’s real data concerning. It is possible to know the infant’s sex, visualize physical characteristics and movement
patterns, as well as to diagnose fetal abnormality. Therefore it is possible to affirm the increase of ultrasound use may affect parent-fetus
relationship. Several studies have been carried out concerning the psychological implications of obstetric ultrasound on mother-fetus
relationship. The present article reviews the main findings of these studies stressing both the fetal normality and abnormality situations. Even though there is no consensus regarding the impact of ultrasound on parent-fetus relationship, the studies are unanimous about the emotional impact of this exam in normal and, especially, in abnormal cases. It is necessary to attend to the psychological aspects of this examination and to its potential effect on parent-infant relationship.
