Re: Re : First Pregnancy Ultrasound

[Guest guest]

My girlfriend just got pregnant, how are ultrasounds bad for the baby?   Thanks,

Mike

Hi Bee,

Its Neary again. When I found out I was pregnant, I scheduled my first OB

confirmation appointment and my gynecologist office requires an ultrasound to

confirm pregnancy or else they would not be able to see me. Most of the other

offices requires the same as well. I know ultrasounds are harmful for me and

the baby...What should I do bee? Thank you.

There is some speculation about hearing impairment. What you can see

for sure is that babies in utero move away from the U/S during the

test. That must say something. I think there is a small amount of

radiation in U/S.

Hi Mike,

Ultrasounds have never been proven safe for babies, as explained in this article

by a midwife:

Ultrasound, More Harm than Good?
