I KNEW our site wasn't the only one you could find solace and info on - started me thinking there must be other alternative mothering kind of sites which also support natural ways of dealing with pregnancy. Anyway, loved the pix below - funny, during pregnancy is a time when I did soooooooooo much research and reading - wonder why I didn't do that before getting married???? :>) so how you feeling? more kicks??

How does the vibrations effect/affect the baby, and why??

My first two both had the intense ultrasound (30 minutes, measurements, down syndrome check, etc.). The first was required by my OB. My second child, I chose to do it since I had insurance that

covered it and I felt, at the time, that it would ease any worries. My 3rd was conceived shortly after an ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery (less than 3 weeks after the operation). I had a quickie vaginal ultrasound with her, again, by my choice, to make sure it was a viable pregnancy and where it should be in the womb, not the tubes.I have three healthy, happy, very normal children.I would not have opted for the ultrasound on my daughter if the circumstances had been different.With my second, I had valid concerns and the ultrasound put them to rest. I strongly feel that the peace of mind that ultrasound gave me was worth it. I think worry and stress are unhealthy during a pregnancy.Follow your heart, it will all be allright, hon.And for goodness sakes, give yourself a hug about the eating discrepancies and move on. Your wee babe will be perfectly fine. Look how many children are born to

meat-eating, trans-fat scarfing ruffians ;-) <though I do understand your concerns, don't take my joking as flippant>xoxo... Ultrasounds>>> I have a question.
