Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I passed on your info to my friend with the baby whose femur is fine. You got her thinking. This is a serious know-it-all veterinarian. Thanks! Here is the exchange: I wrote: I would not be running for more except at the end when they need to be sure all is well if you are overdue. Not trying to make you paranoid or even say I am right. There are things I have learned that apply to others and it is a consciemce thing that pushes me to pass them on. At the end of the day though we each are best suited to know what is best for ourselves...precisly why I send these things rather than talk about them. My deal, that I can talk about. What others should do, now how can I know that? Friend wrote: > Hmm, I have had 4 - but only the 20 week was really long. > > Liz wrote: > >> It is always like that. The fact is there is no need for 8, 10, 13 ultrasounds. At that point folks need to fish or cut bait. So many moms on that board (this is not my issue, I had two and they were short) had multiple ultrasounds for issues they were willing to live with and would not affect delivery until the end. That is not justified. As for studies, they can't do human trials:) >> >>Friend wrote: >> >>> Yes, I have heard this but it is also such an important tool. I am not sure that the studies to show harm are truly comparable since I heard that they were done in mice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
