Is ultrasound safe in early pregnancy?

Question

My doctor has suggested an ultrasound in my early pregnancy, and I'm a bit concerned about its safety. Is it truly safe to have an ultrasound during the first trimester, or could it potentially harm the baby?

Haan beta, bilkul safe hai. Bacche ki dhadkan dekhne ke liye yeh scan bohot zaroori hota hai, isse koi nuksan nahi hota.

Do not worry, dear, the early scan is completely safe and is just to check on your little one's growth. Stay positive and trust your doctor's guidance.

Yes, completely. The scanning team at my hospital explained that early ultrasounds use sound waves and absolutely no radiation, so there is zero risk to the baby.

My mother was initially a bit worried about having too many scans early on, but my doctor calmly explained that ultrasounds are completely safe. It's crucial for checking the heartbeat, so please go ahead with it.

Totally safe! I've had about five ultrasounds by now in my 3rd trimester and the baby is kicking like a football player. It's the only way to see what they are up to in there!
