Default Are Ultrasounds Safe During Pregnancy?

Many women worry about routine ultrasounds or sonograms during their pregnancy, fearing possible side effects or harm to their unborn child. If you’re asking yourself, “Are ultrasounds safe during pregnancy?” a bit of reassurance is order.

Are Ultrasounds Safe During Pregnancy?
Ultrasounds are noninvasive and do not use radiation as X-rays do. There are no studies showing that ultrasounds are hazardous and there are no side effects for you or your baby. Still, ultrasounds must be performed properly and only be a trained professional. There is still no understanding of long-term effects of repeated exposure to ultrasounds on a fetus, although most experts believe there are no problems to worry about.
