Anyone had extra ultrasound scans in their pregnancy before or currently having extra scans? I’ve already had 5 scans and I’m only 13 weeks, due another one because the 12 week scan didn’t go to plan due to baby’s position. My worry is now that over-scanning can cause harm to the baby due to over-exposure of sound waves.

Hey lovely I wouldn’t worry🤍 There’s not loads and loads of proof that ultrasounds actually harm baby, they just say it as prevention. I had a scan at 6+1, 7+3, 8+4, 10 weeks and 11+2!! May have one in the next 2 weeks and then I have one on October 8th too🤍👣 Don’t stress as it’ll stress baba too! Whenever im really worried I think to myself im not in pain, im not bleeding, nothing has changed, so I won’t panic unless I need too, hope ur ok xx

Ultrasounds are safe :)

Don’t worry at all- in high risk pregnancies they do them weekly sometimes and they certainly wouldn’t want to risk harming a high-risk pregnancy!
I’ve had 6 and I’m 13 weeks - 3 were emergency ones due to bleeding early on and then reassurance at 9 and 11 and then my NHS one at 12.5 weeks.
I will def get one or two more before 20 week scan too!

Hey so I get upto 10-12 scans because my mum's first baby was a still born and I'm high risk, and because my babies are always big, my first was 8lb my second was 8lb 14lb 1/2 and my youngest was 9lb 12 1/2.. scans are perfectly safe ❤️

I had loads of scans throughout my pregnancy in various different hospitals I wouldn’t worry x

It’s safe. I’m having twins and I’ve had 5 scans by 11 weeks and go for another one at 13 weeks!

i've had 5 and im only 12 weeks!! it wont harm baby dont worry hun
