How ultrasound works

High-frequency sound imaging—no ionizing radiation like CT.

Safety

When performed by trained staff for clinical indications, ultrasound is considered safe. Avoid unnecessary prolonged “keepsake” sessions.

Typical schedule

Dating and fetal heart confirmation.
Anatomy screening (timing per local protocol).
Growth, placenta, fluid checks when indicated.

Bottom line

Trust your obstetric plan; do not self-order excessive scans from anxiety.
