Is anyone concerned about frequent us?

I tend to be a worrier by nature, but recently read increased us during pregnancy could cause neuro problems. Anyone else heard of this? My OB has us sched for every 2 weeks so naturally I'm concerned.

I have never heard that but I hope that's not the case. I already have 2 scheduled and I'm only 5 weeks along lol

Not concerned.  U/S has been studied and used for a very long time.

I would not be worried.  Trust in your OB, I am sure she is doing what is best for you.

I was reading about this the other day - and while there are those who are concerned the overwhelming consensus from the medical community is that US are perfectly safe.  There have been studies and even just the fact that they have been so widely uses for so many years if there were any adverse effects there would be evidence in the children of being born

I wish I could get more. I had one at 12 weeks and now won't have one until 20 weeks. it kills me. She does the doppler each time so at least i can hear his heartbeat, but i want to see him

Where did you read this? Dr. Google can be dangerous....you can find an article saying anything can kill you. Your doc knows best, try to relax

I wouldn't worry about it. I actually wish that my OB was open to doing more u/s, like they do in other countries. The RE was comfortable with every 2 weeks and then I just got cut off

Try not to worry! I know that is hard sometimes, but your doctor knows best

I was worried a tiny bit and joked to DH that our baby was going to have a third eye from all of the ultrasounds. I asked my OB and MFM and they both said that it would be fine.
