A member asked:

Can a transvaginal ultrasound during pregnancy at 20 weeks hurt the baby or cause a miscarriage?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No. Ultrasound examination will not cause harm to the baby, or cause miscarriage. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Transvaginal ultrasound is safe at 20 weeks of pregnancy, and does not , in and of itself, cause a miscarriage, which may occur but is independent of the use of transvaginal ultrasound as a diagnostic measure.
