I had my 1st sonogram at 8 weeks on June 10th I had another sonogram on July 1st due to a scare of cramping pain (baby…

No I have one every 4 weeks

@babydavid915 ohhh good! My cousin told me it was bad for the baby😒 so I was getting worried lol But I figured the dr.s wouldn't suggest it if it was bad lol🙊

@babydavis915,

@abella1023 it's not bad they are just keeping their eye on things. I have a placenta previa so I'm getting all of these done so they can keep an eye on my placenta

That's normal.. You just got that extra from the scare you had. My doc does them at 8, 12, 20 then another one in the third trimester. And sometimes they will do a quick one before baby is born

@babydavis915, ohhh ok I see thank you😊

@Sarabrewer04, ok good I feel relieved now. Lol thanks! Yeah she couldn't find the heart beat on the Doppler which made me more nervous lol then when I got the sonogram we realized it's because the baby was moving like crazzyyyy and I'm only 11 weeks ugh I can imagine once I start feeling them😍😍 lol

Studies have shown ultrasound is not hazardous. There are no harmful side effects to you or your baby. In addition, ultrasound does not use radiation, as X-ray tests do 😉

Yeah at 11 weeks my doctor won't even attempt to listen to the baby on a Doppler she says baby is still so little and sometimes it hard to find it. My doc won't use the Doppler till 15 weeks

@august.baby, yay glad to hear that. That's why my cousin said it was bad smh. Well I'm happy then because I love seeing my baby😍 lol

actually the FDA is now suggesting as few ultrasounds as possible with two being the max unless medically necessary for the health of the infant or mother. There's no full studies on how ultrasound will affect a growing fetus long term both in or out of the womb with minimal or lots of exposure. This is why insurance companies typically only cover one or two unless it is medically required for diagnostic purposes.
