Feds advise against fetal `keepsakes’
The Food and Drug Administration advises against parents springing for those fetus videos, heartbeat recordings and other fetal keepsakes because it represents an unapproved use of ultrasound and other services that require a prescription.
Extended use of such devices — sometimes it takes an hour to get a fetal video — might have unknown consequences for the mother and baby.
