Many women keep ultrasound pictures of their babies as well as other mementos to remember being pregnant. There is something new that many women are doing to commemorate their pregnancy. They are painting images of their ultrasound on their fingernails just like they would any other design for a special occasion or a holiday.

There are a few creative ways that women are letting friends and family members know that they are pregnant. They are having gender reveal parties to let everyone know whether they are having a boy or a girl. Now, women are showcasing their fingernails on social media sites like Instagram after they get ultrasound images designed on them.

No one really knows how this trend started. It kind of popped up one day. As more women saw posts of fingernails, they started getting theirs done as well. One of the first pictures of a woman's manicure with an ultrasound picture is from 2016.

Toronto's Hard Rock Nails was credited at the time for putting an image of an ultrasound on a few of the nails of a hand that a woman had manicured so that she could show everyone at her baby shower.

In 2017, a woman posted a picture of an ultrasound of a baby who she miscarried. She had the ultrasound image put on a fingernail so that she could show her love for her baby and so that she could memorialize her baby in a way that was unique.

The woman and her husband had tried for several years to get pregnant, but she was unable to carry her baby to full term. The image of her baby on her nails made her smile at least for a short time.

A company called Nails by Sarah posted a manicured hand with ultrasound images, and the post received over 40,000 likes by people who saw the picture.

Even though there is no clear indication as to when the trend started, there are now more women who are getting ultrasound images on their nails to announce that they are pregnant, to see their baby when they look at their nails, or to let other people know the gender of the baby.

Take a peek at some of the images of the intricate details that are used on some of the ultrasound fingernails while reading about some of the reasons mothers want to jump on this exciting trend.
