No: An ultrasound is usually obtained to confirm that the pregnancy is in the uterus and the age of the fetus, or the delivery date. The need for follow up ultrasounds depends on whether your obstetrician expects a problem during the pregnancy. Ultrasound is not known to be harmful to the developing baby, but repeat exams should have a specific need. Ask your doctor about the benefits of repeat exams.
