Ive already had like 4 scans and now my doc wants another one this week. I keep wondering if doing so many ultrasounds can affect the baby in any way. Anyone else had a lot of scans and worried about the same?
My doctor said medically needed ultrasounds are safe and there is no proof they harm the baby. The advice is just not to do extra ones casually for no reason, like only for gender or photos. Stick to the scans your gynac actually recommends and you are fine.
Honestly I worried about this so much and asked my doctor each time. She reassured me the needed scans cause no harm and it is just fear talking. If you are anxious like me, just ask your gynac directly, it really helps to hear it from them.
The ones the doctor schedules are perfectly safe, they wouldnt order them otherwise. I had a few extra due to monitoring and my gynac wasnt worried at all. Just dont go for random unnecessary scans, let the doctor decide how many.
