My OB and my Midwife don't believe they are safe. I have read in books on ultrasounds and I don't believe they are safe. Yes, they are good to help diagnose problems, and should only be used for that purpose. I had 2 u/s with my first son, and only 1 with this baby. I will not have any more unless I need them (which I highly doubt). Research doesnt' say they are safe, they say there isn't enough evidence to deem them unsafe, which does not automatically make them safe. Many researchers are researching this right now and are finding out that it's not all that safe. The sounds waves they use are at a very high frequency. With the u/s I had a few weeks ago, my baby was squirming around and putting his hands over his ears, it was sad to see My DH agrees with me, and he has to use soundwaves in his career sometimes, he knows it can be dangerous. I would never do a 3D or 4D scan, and would never get one privatly done at a place where they aren't Doctors.
