Man, I have a doppler and had a keepsake video done.
I haven't used the doppler much since I felt him kicking, and even when I did I just made sure the heartbeat was there, then got the heck out. I had the video done at a doctor's office. Go figure.
Something new to worry about...
Thanks for sharing this though.
thanks for the info. Last u/s I had was the 18weeks one and I thought being 36 and all I should have another one in the third trimester (just to make sure everything is going well). My obgyn said there is no reason for you to have another u/s. I was upset. I should probably just trust the doc.
thanks again!
yea.. My ob told me the same thing a few weeks ago.. I guess its better just to be safe. He also said.. sometimes it cant be helped. but just to do it for pleasure of seeing the baby? he wouldnt it do it!
But I'm sure those are medically necessary.
The FDA isn't saying that ultrasounds cause harm -- just that since they DON'T know FOR SURE if they could potentially cause harm, why buy them for fun's sake.
If ultrasounds were directly linked to some kind of defect or future medical problems for our kids, they would have had some definitive evidence by this point.
Please don't worry!
yikes...I get weekly u/s right now!!!
