At least a dozen pregnant moms have complained, some to the police, that a Pickering prenatal imaging centre is handing out the same stock picture to women who go there for an ultrasound. The firm denies it and says, rather lamely, that the same picture is caused by a “computer glitch”. The lab, Babyview at 1550 Kingston Rd. Pickering, has apologized and is offering a full refund. According to CP24 the lab did not open today (Wednesday, May 18, 2016). But parents who paid $130 for photos and a recording of their baby’s heart beat are incensed. One woman, Jennifer Cusimano is almost 21 weeks pregnant and on a previous visit to Babyview had a satisfactory experience. BabyView has changed ownership since then. Ms. Cusimano said she could barely see her child’s features in the sonogram but was told to wait in the waiting room for a photo. When the technician returned she handed over a photo, saying “I cleaned them up a bit,” Cusimano told CTV Toronto. “I thought it was weird, but thought maybe they’re just really good at what they do,” she told CTV. The issue came to light when women began to post their pictures comparatively on Facebook and realized they were all the same.
