“…These attachment emotions initially occur when the pregnant woman feels the first fetal movement, but continue with advanced medical technology, continuously establishing attachment between pregnant woman and her fetus throughout gestation [10]. The ultrasound scan is one such technology that can satisfy a pregnant woman's curiosity by producing images of the unborn baby [12].…”

“…Several recent studies compared the levels of prenatal emotional attachment for different dimensional ultrasounds [1,10,12,20,21]. Righetti et al [10]revealed no difference in the maternal antenatal attachment score betweenthree-dimensional (3D) or four-dimensional (4D) and 2D ultrasound scanning groups.…”

“…Righetti et al [10]revealed no difference in the maternal antenatal attachment score betweenthree-dimensional (3D) or four-dimensional (4D) and 2D ultrasound scanning groups. Anotherstudy found that a 3D or 4D ultrasound scanning group had a higher maternal antenatal attachment score than did a 2D ultrasound scanning group because of the clear fetal image visibility [12]. Sixty healthy pregnant women were interviewed for one study to compare maternal attachment scores in the second and third trimesterstrimester's between2D and 3D ultrasound scanning groups [20].…”

“…Hence, pregnant women can have many pleasant moments and positive experiences during prenatal care because an ultrasound scan helps them imagine their unborn baby [10][11][12]. Furthermore, intervention studies on maternal-fetal attachment have been published in several countries.…”

Importance: In this review of recent research on the effects of interventions on maternal-fetal attachment. There are limited data from several countries to demonstrate the impact of medical technology and intervention programs on maternal-fetal attachment. Objective: To examine studies on the effects of using medical technology and applying related interventions on maternal-fetal attachment, to identify gaps in this research, and to suggest future areas of research in this field. Methods: The PubMed, Medline, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature electronic databases were searched using the following keywords: maternal-fetal attachment, prenatal, paternal, yoga, mindfulness, medical technology, and intervention. Because of the limited number of studies, the publication year and type of study was not restricted. Results: Ten studies were selected for review. Ten studies that met the inclusion criteria were identified and used for further examination. The studies were conducted in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, Iran, and South Korea. Conclusion: Despite preliminary studies indicating that medical technology and related interventions enhance the level of maternal-fetal attachment, the small sample sizes and nonrandomized controlled research designs limit the generalizability of the results. Future research is recommended to measure the correlation between prenatal and postnatal attachment in participants who receive abnormal fetus or unexpected gender results in ultrasound screening and reproductive technology. Additionally, future studies should focus on the benefits of postnatal attachment in trained fathers by using a longitudinal research design.

“…Although studies have not shown 3D/4D ultrasound to be any more effective than 2-dimensional ultrasound when it comes to improving bonding scores or reducing parental stress and anxiety [1], elective ultrasound sessions may allow greater involvement of siblings and other family members and may provide more time for the ultrasound than would be possible in a busy sonography unit.…”

Substance‐abusing Pregnant Women: Prenatal Intervention Using Ultrasound Consultation and Mentalization to Enhance the Mother–child Relationship and Reduce Substance Use

Substance-abusing pregnant and parenting women are considered one of the most challenging, but important, target groups for developing early parenting interventions. Some valuable efforts to develop such interventions have been made in the organizational sector in Finland. However, there is a great need for new ways of work that would simultaneously concentrate in substance-abuse treatment and enhance parenting in public healthcare settings. The present article describes the background, content, and protocol of a new prenatal intervention developed for substance-abusing pregnant women in a hospital setting in public healthcare. The intervention includes two new elements and pathways aimed to enhance the mothers' curiosity toward her developing child and provide motivation to stay abstinent from substance use. The pathways are interactive ultrasound consultation and a new pregnancy diary, both using a parental mentalization focus. The intervention elements, experiences from running the intervention, evaluation protocol, and general characteristics of the study sample gained (n = 90) are described and discussed. Two case vignettes from the study sample are presented, and the applicability of this prenatal work with other groups and settings is considered.

Three‐dimensional ultrasound and maternal bonding, a third trimester study and a review

Abstract: Bonding increases after either a 3D/4D or 2D US. The effect of 3D/4D US on bonding is stronger at better degrees of visibility and recognition.
