Hello Mam,   Iam 35 yrs with 3.5 yrs son. Iam pregnant with 7 weeks. I hv been advised to do Ultrasound scan although I hv no prblms(no bleeding, no pain, no nausea).    Iam worried if the early scan effects the baby inside.    Pls Mam suggest if Ive 2 go for scan or not.              Thankyou
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the ultrasound is the safest at any stage of pregnancy. It is not associated with any harmful effects on the fetus. Usually three scans are advisable throughout the pregnancy. First within 12 weeks, second between 20-22 weeks and 3rd on around 34-36 weeks of pregnancy. First scan is very important to know the wellbeing of fetus and dating of pregnancy i.e., delivery date is known accurately from first scan. So don't worry. Go for the scan without any doubts. I assure you there are no bad effects with it. Best regards...
