Article about ultrasound heating at http://www.fensende.com/Users/swnymph/Midwife/usoundtd.htmlFrom: anonymous@obgyn.netThu, 17 Dec 1998 11:43:05 -0600 (CST)
It says, among other things, "ultrasound waves are known to generate heat" and "this heat may cause microscopic bubbles in bodily fluids of the fetus to oscillate and collapse." Also, the parentsplace.com website says there is "no need for routine ultrasound in pregnancy" and that 97% of women want an ultrasound but that actually only 5-20% of women need one. I was planning on getting an ultrasound but now I think I won't since my pregnancy is normal and I don't want one just to see a picture of the baby or find out its sex. Women need to err on the side of caution I think.
