A Woman Couldn't Stop Laughing During Her Ultrasound, And Millions Of People Are In Disbelief After Seeing What It Looks Like On Video
Listen up, pregnant people! The babies want you to see something.
So, grab your jar of pickles and — whatever you do — do not laugh at what you are about to see.
You can keep the donut, but stop the giggle.
I MEAN IT! STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!
Okay, fine. You can laugh. We are going to show you the ultrasound of a mom who couldn't contain her laughter while having one done. Myka Giles performed it at her business Peek At Baby 4D Ultrasound & Photography, and shared the video (with the mom's permission!) on TikTok.
That video has now been viewed more than 25 million times, and people are losing it.
Most are just in disbelief at what it looks like in there during a hearty cackle.
Some people say it's like a rave.
While others think the baby is trying to send a message.
So, if you're dying for me to get to what the actual video shows, I will break it down with screenshots and a link...
To encompass what was shown on TikTok, imagine the song "Earthquake" by Hardwell being blasted while the following screenshots move around...
The beginning of the video shows a typical-looking ultrasound:
Then we see what I am assuming are the effects of the mom's abdominal muscles contracting toward the baby:
The muscles start moving quicker and faster and pretty soon the baby disappears:
Here you can see the effects of the mom's abdominal muscles contracting on the other side:
The mom pauses and then appears to laugh harder, and the baby completely vanishes:
POOF:
By the end, the laughing has completely gotten out of hand and the baby has gone into hiding:
HERE IS THE FULL VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LAUGH DURING PREGNANCY.
BuzzFeed spoke to Myka, who specializes in non-diagnostic, luxury obstetric ultrasound imaging for babies at Peek At Baby 4D Ultrasound & Photography in Oklahoma. She also offers newborn photography once they arrive.
She said she decided to share the ultrasound on TikTok because everyone in the room was laughing seeing it in real time on the monitor. "It was too funny not to share!"
And, even though it may look dangerous, it is not. "No, laughing does not cause any harm to the baby. Babies in the womb feed off of the mother's emotions, so laughing is actually beneficial and perfectly safe," shared Myka.
Sneezing can also look very similar on ultrasound, as well as coughing, walking, running, and any other normal physical daily movement, according to Myka.
In fact, any physical movement really can shake things up in there, LOL.
And, who knows, you might even find an unexpected surprise while doing so! 😳
Myka has been sharing a lot of other unexpected things she sees during ultrasounds — like this baby who decided to stare at them during its video debut. "I never expected my TikTok videos to reach such a wide audience, but I love that so many people all over the world are getting to join in on the joy of my career, even if it’s just for a moment. Being a light in what can often be worrisome times and being able to provide exciting moments to expecting families is my true passion. I encourage anyone to take a peek in on their baby in the womb, or join an expecting mama at her ultrasound. You never know what cute things you might encounter!"
Special thanks to the expecting momma and Myka!!!
