Ultrasound safety?

[Fuzzyduck21]

What with one thing and another, I have had 12 scans during this pregnancy and I'm currently 35 weeks. I had never counted them till a few weeks ago and it really worried me. Have any of you had loads of scans as well? Are your DCs ok? I have been offered another scan tomorrow as I had reduced movement the other day (went on monitor tho and heartbeat looked fine). They have offered it for my reassurance as I have terrible anxiety leading to depression and they thought this may help but I am worried it may make my anxiety worse as it's yet another ultrasound. I made the mistake of googling... x

I've had many many scans (1 every two weeks before twelve weeks) three at 14/15 weeks, a private gender scan at 16 weeks a repeat gender scan at 18 weeks then my 20 week scan I had a scan at 22 weeks ND also Mother one the other day at 25 weeks ND I have one scheduled at 28 weeks and then every 2-4 weeks after. I have gd and a very high risk pregnancy due to mAy losses before and previous health problems my baby seems to be fine the risks are minimal. Also I just want to add I've been given 3 chest X-ray's 2 CT scans and an Mr all through this pregnancy aswell Andalusia had a lumbar luncture. And through all of that my little one is still going well. X

Thanks mummy - sorry to hear you've had a few complications but glad your LO is doing well xx

fuzzy the ultrasounds are really safe :) there is absokutely no evidence at all that ultrasounds have any negative effect on the foetus. We had this debate a few months back and I and others went into the primary literature to search for anything at all - we found nowt :) the thread should still be there if you fancy searching back for it.

mummy glad your little one is doing ok!

Thanks guys she's been fine 15 weeks to go and seems to be doing well x
