I'm 6 weeks pregnant. my husband has been told that u/s are bad for baby and can cause autism. is this true? i really want a us to make sure all is ok

Incorrect: There is no definitive evidence of an ultrasound causing autism that I am aware of.

Studied extensively: Ultrasound has been studied over more than 2 decades and no link to autism, birth defects or any other problem has been found. Newer research is pointing to genetic code alternations in the egg or sperm as a potential cause.These may be triggered by environmental exposures long before the pregnancy.
