Are frequent ultrasounds harmful?

Question

I have a few things going on with my pregnancy that the doctors want to check on weekly so I have a 5-10 minute ultrasound once or twice a week and have since about 30 weeks. I am now 36 weeks and this will continue until I deliver. Has anyone else had this and their baby was ok?

Answer

There's no evidence to say it's harmful :) your doctor's would have weighed up any risks before scheduling regular appointments and the risk of not having the scans would have had to be higher than having them :)

Answer

Yes..all was fine. It's just sound waves producing an image.

Answer

I have them done every two weeks.. doctor doesnt seem concerned about it.. otherwise I am sure he wouldnt do them.

Answer

I had tons of ultrasounds with my son and there were no effects :)
