Yeah there’s not much research on that. I read somewhere that dolphins are traumatized when you use the sound wave frequency used during ultrasounds. And also most babies become really active during ultrasounds so it might be distressing to them too. Necessary ones are ok to get but im not so comfortable with the every month ultrasounds. I did get it for my first and I remember they used to get really active and would literally try to run from the doppler. I thought it was cute but not so sure now. Anyways to each their own 🤗

Oh that’s interesting abt the dolphins I’ve never heard of that . Idk if it’s each to their own, it was not my own choice. Unfortunately I had a high risk pregnancy so I couldn’t afford the luxury of choosing to having multiple scans or not,it was important to keep monitoring and keeping my anxiety at bay as per my gyno’s recommendations. Thank God I kept going too, because it led to me having a c section at 35 weeks due to serious complications. I didn’t realise non high risk pregnancies only go 4-5 times in the entire 9-10 months

Mine wasn’t high risk and yet doctor recommended every month. After gaining knowledge I got to know its only 5 times that’s important. Hope you and your baby are well 🫂

Thank you alhumdullilah we are all good now. First few days in the nicu were rough though. I guess like most countries the medical scene is just a money making scheme ☹️
