Do you have to have your date of birth on an ultrasound scan?

Question

I have my first ultrasound scan in a few days, and as I am young I really don't want my date of birth being on the scan. As I won't feel comfortanle showing certain people if my date of birth is on it. Is there a way to get around this? If I ask the lady doing my scan is it possible to have my date of birth removed, or do they need to have your date of birth on it?

Answer

Depending on the hospital/clinic's machine, you should be able to leave personal information off of the copy you're getting. If not, it should be at the top so you can cut it off and just show the scan.
