{Disarmed} RE: Re: Ultrasound Can Affect Brain Development- ABC News

[Guest guest]

I had an ultrasound 1x/wk the last 10 wks of Dinah's pregnancy because

of gestational diabetes. The ultrasound tech was clear that there has

never been any safety shown with the use of ultrasound, nor had there

been any studies showing the affects of repeated ultrasounds. This was

in 2002. Seems to be that any reputable radiologist or OB should be

aware of this, but there again, we can wish in one hand...
