Ultrasound Confirms Couple is Expecting a Sports Car
A couple recently found themselves in disbelief when their ultrasound image seemed to depict an adorable little car rather than a baby. Imagine the mix of emotions when you’re expecting confirmation of a new life, only to be met with what looks like a shiny new vehicle!
In an amusing twist, Reddit user MarkyMark234 and his partner were at their routine 24-week ultrasound appointment. Instead of the traditional heartbeat confirmation and those somewhat eerie 3-D images of their unborn child, they were presented with an image that looked just like a car. Unless MarkyMark234 is married to a giant monster, it’s hard to explain how that car ended up in there!
Of course, they aren’t really giving birth to a sports car. It appears to be a bizarre optical illusion or a trick of the ultrasound screen. As much as we all wish for a world where Transformers exist, we know that’s just the imagination of a child (or maybe the wishful thinking of an adult!).
After using a gestational surrogate for their first child, the couple was surprised to discover they were pregnant the traditional way. MarkyMark234 was even more surprised when it seemed his partner was carrying a Model-T!
Ultrasound experiences can be surreal, even for those who’ve only welcomed human children into the world. The technology is remarkable, and hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time is a moment that stays with you. However, ultrasound images aren’t always the clearest. Sometimes, you might feel like you’re trying to interpret a moving X-ray of an undercooked pastry. Despite the mysterious image on the screen, you can be certain that the technician assured the couple that their little one was indeed a baby and not a vehicle.
To their credit, MarkyMark234 and his partner are taking the unexpected news in stride. “A miracle happened and my wife became pregnant naturally, well as naturally as you can when you’re carrying a car,” he joked. They even had a peek under the hood to find out, “it’s a boy car!” Here’s hoping they have a spacious enough garage for their new arrival.
