Julie Roberts' analysis is perceptive and fresh, skillfully drawing from feminist, visual and technology studies to generate insightful questions and enrich our thinking about sonograms, reproductive politics, and the desire to see and know the foetus.'Lisa M. Mitchell, University of Victoria, Canada'Underpinned by a thorough examination of the now extensive feminist and sociological literatures on ultrasound practices, Roberts compellingly argues that we need to both take the pleasures of ultrasound seriously and to think carefully about the potentially disturbing implications of contemporary foetal images for the politics of abortion, popular understandings of maternal 'bonding' and the production of family belonging. Succinctly capturing a significant historical moment in reproductive culture, this book will become a valuable source for feminist teaching and research on pregnancy, bodies and imaging for a long time to come.'Celia Roberts, Lancaster University, UK 'A fascinating look at the new baby's first picture - 3D/4D ultrasound foetal images.
