A member asked:
I was just told by my mfm that i will need an ultrasound every 2 weeks to monitor babies and their heart beat. im 11 weeks with twins. is this many ultrasounds considered safe? they usually only take 3-5 minutes and do them abdominal now?

Yes: These are not radiation or other worrisome agents. Think of them as modified sound waves that both you & baby will experience every day from a variety of sources. The procedure has been used for decades with no problems for fetus or mother.
