What is ultrasound?
(real ultrasound, source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound)
Ultrasound in Oxford languages means sounds or other vibrations having an ultrasonic frequency, mainly as used in medical imaging. To put it simply, it is an ultrasound scan.
Ultrasound is popular in the medical world. Diagnostic ultrasound, or in other words, sonography, is an imaging method that uses high frequency or ultrasound (more than 20000 Hz) to create an image of your body.
Likewise, this method looks like to X-ray. While sonography uses sound waves, X-ray uses high-energy electromagnetic waves.
There are two types of ultrasound: pregnancy ultrasound and diagnostic ultrasound. In comparison, people use pregnancy ultrasound to look at an unborn baby in the womb so a parent can look at their future kid’s image. On the other hand, we use diagnostic ultrasound to view or get information about many organs in the body, such as the kidney, bladder, heart, blood vessels, etc.

“Beware of the taste of your own medicine” is a term that you must be aware of. If you are going to prank, get ready for people to prank you back. But there’s hope. Here is the way to tell whether it is fake or not.
- Take a good look at the fetus.
An actual sonogram finished image will look glossy—photograph paper when you print it. Also, the fetus won’t look human to you if the baby is only a few weeks old.
- Reverse google image search
There are tons of pictures of the sonograms on google or social media when you cannot tell them apart, the higher chance that someone pranked you.
- Ask the sender
You can ask a few questions to the one who sends you the picture, like the hospital or doctor’s name. It will undoubtedly lead to a checkmate.
- Consult a professional
If you have a friend who is a doctor, radiologist, physicist, or nurse., then you are in luck! A prankster might trick ordinary people, but a professional? No chance, buddy!
- Unverified data
The sonograph is fake if the underlying data like hospital, date, doctor, and name cannot be verified or aligned. I will need close attention to detail to spot this, like a fake clinic name.
- Low-quality printing
Ultrasound paper uses thermal paper for printing. It will have a shinier rather than a printed paper that uses ink sourced from a jpeg image. It’s a real physical item. Based on this, you can tell whether it is fake or not.
The Cons of the Prank
In conclusion, this prank may be easy and cheap. However, if there are pros, then there are cons.
- No singles allowed
Suppose you happen to be currently single. No one will believe when you are suddenly having a baby.
- It is not free
Even though it’s cheap, it still cost some money if you buy it online. There are many pranks to do without having to pull your wallet.
- You might hurt someone.
Even though this prank is just for fun, not everyone will get this. Many couples are struggling to get pregnant and having a real baby, starting a family. So use this cautiously.
