# Ah, would that this were possible
However, the next one will not be until 26th March.

As far as I know it's ok though :)

# it is possible if you have enough money to purchase your own ultrasound scanner.

# Er, yes, that may not happen
Of course, if I still had a job, not only could I actually earn some money to make this even vaguely possible, but I could also ask the ultrasound dept very nicely if they wouldn't mind doing quick scans for me once a week, seeing as I arranged to keep the unit working and all that....

# Well given that the probe alone costs £3500 (second hand)
I'd say it's unlikely

# For a probe
For a high duty cycle, low production unit costs 3500 second hand. Bet it could be brought down a lot for high volume home quality.

# Oh, probably
But then you'd have a load of neurotic women who don't know how to read an ultrasound properly running to A&E because they'd seen something worrying. It's not a wonderful idea. Same reason I don't agree with home bought foetal heart monitors.

# the cost would plummet once they start getting knocked out in china
no home should be without one, i'm sure it'd have a myriad uses, no more having to stick your hands down the back of the sofa hunting for pens or lost children and stuff.

book me an appointment on dragons den it's a winner for sure.
