In the frame

One of the most exciting moments of your pregnancy is when you get to see your little one on the small screen for the first time. Whether or not you've had previous scans in early pregnancy, it's usually the 12-week ultrasound scan when you get a close-up of your womb tenant waving, kicking and even sucking her thumb that hits you with that 'I'm going to be a mummy' feeling in full force. Most ultrasound units will offer parents-to-be a grainy photo of their little bean but as the months progress, the flimsy print-out is likely to get tattered unless you find somewhere safe to store it.



Get yourself a Baby Scan Photo Frame from The Gift Experience. This hinged frame features one side to slot your scan photo and another side where you can write details like the parents' names, date and the number of weeks of gestation. The Baby Scan Photo Frame comes in a creamy resin finish and is dotted with cute little stars and makes an ideal gift for newly announced mamas and papas. Available at The Gift Experience and good photo stores.
