Influence of the 3D-sonographic Representation of the Fetal Face on the Health-conscious Behavior of Pregnant Women

Studies have shown that ultrasound examinations during pregnancy have a short-term anxiety and stress-reducing effect, without having any influence on the mother-child bond or health-conscious behavior.

It has not yet been investigated to what extent the representation of the child's face alone achieves a lasting positive effect if the representation in 3D form were permanently available.
