Question 3

are 3d ultrasounds during pregnancy safe?

Accepted Answer

Debated but gnrly ya: The question of whether or not ultrasound (US) can physically heat the tissue (because of multiple internal reflections &amp; the focusing of the US beam) is a topic that is debated among scientists, but generally speaking, though, US is considered safe by the FDA / medical community. The max power in the systems is regulated by the FDA, &amp; no proven harm has been demonstrated as yet. Need more studies

Question 4

is it safe to get ultrasounds while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many years ago, there was a hypothetical belief that high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) used to perform a sonogram might harm the developing baby's hearing.  Now, after literally millions of ultrasounds preformed on millions of babies, our fears have been relieved -- sonograms are safe.  But a mom might still see a consent form before a sonogram for one reason only: medico-legal protection.

Question 5

when should pregnant women start doing more frequent ultrasounds?

Accepted Answer

If indicated.: Only, if indicated, have biophysical profile at the end of pregnancy.
Otherwise, you do not need to.

Question 6

what is the maximum number of ultrasounds a pregnant woman can do?

Accepted Answer

Harmless: "Ultrasound" refers to sound waves at a frequency higher than we have the ability to hear.  A picture is formed by analyzing the reflected sound waves.  The sound waves are harmless, and there is no limit to the number of ultrasounds that can be done.

Question 7

are ultrasounds accurate at telling how many weeks pregnant you are?

Accepted Answer

Being Pregnant: Yes. The early ones are thought to be more accurate than later in pregnancy.  You can verify dating with a conception calculator.  Remember all the tools you need to learn or monitor you pregnancy are available online.  Here is where I recommend you start: http://www.babymed.com/conception-calculator

Question 8

if my due date is nov 30 2014 when did i get pregnant ; are ultrasounds accurate ?

Accepted Answer

March 9: If you're due date is November 30, then the date of conception was March 9. Ultrasound are pretty accurate, but first trimester ultrasounds are more accurate than second and third trimester. First trimester sounds are accurate to within about four or five days. That means your date of conception can be four or five days before or after March 9.

Question 9

i am 8 1/2 weeks pregnant. my insurance only covers two ultrasounds . i am just wondering when is the best time to schedule for atleast the first one.?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you re planning on the first trimester screen or  NT test it may be done between 11-14  weeks.  Otherwise  your  md will usually  perform a fetal survey at ~20 weeks+/- 1 week.  It is not absolutely  necessary to  have two sonograms  and is something for  you to discuss with your md. Additional ultrasounds may be needed if you have  other problems like  diabetes or elevated bp.

Question 10

how many ultrasounds will i have during my pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Most women will have one ultrasound in the first trimester to verify dating and possibly as part of a special early screening for chromosomal abnormalities. A detailed second trimester ultrasound (around 20 weeks)is typical to look for any fetal abnormalities. Any additional ultrasounds will vary depending upon the specific circumstances of your pregnancy.
