Are ultrasounds safe?

The easy answer.  We DON’T KNOW!

That scares me.  It scares me more that moms don’t know that we don’t know if it is safe or not.

I think one ultrasound at 20 weeks is just the right amount.  Anything more than that should have a good medical reason to do it.

We just don’t know if it is safe or not.  So why expose your baby to something risky unless there is a good reason.

If your care provider is suggesting multiple ultrasounds, ASK why!

Here are 2 good articles to get more information from.

Dr. Wagner – Are ultrasounds more harm than good?

Dr. Sarah J. Buckley – Ultrasound Scans – cause for concern.
