How Safe Is An Ultrasound On The Baby?
An ultrasound is a highly important resource during pregnancy to determine various factors of the baby’s condition. Among them we can mention the gender of the baby, that is, if it will be a boy or a girl, the gestational age, the position of the fetus and determine specific clinical issues, among others.
The ultrasound examination performed on the expectant mother does not cause pain and is completely safe for the health of the baby. It does not use radiation, nor does it have harmful effects on either of them.
The ultrasound frequencies used in ultrasounds are very low, so they do not harm the fetus. Its use is considered safe during pregnancy.
Is It Dangerous To Have Multiple Ultrasound Exams?
Having many ultrasound exams does not carry any type of risk for the pregnancy, neither for the baby nor for the mother, because the ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves and does not use any type of radiation.
When Can I Start Having An Ultrasound Exam?
From week 7 you can already have an ultrasound exam in which you can listen to the heartbeat of your baby. We have the option of keeping that cute memory in a teddy bear of your choice.
If what you are looking for is to know the gender of your baby, we recommend that you have an ultrasound from week 15.
In addition, we have the option of having your own account on Babyflix which allows you to save all your ultrasound video on your own account. All images taken in the session will also be saved. With this account you can enter anywhere you are.
Do I Need To Do Anything Before Having An Ultrasound?
In Video Prenatal, we recommend you ingest between 64 and 72 ounces of water for at least 3 to 5 days, prices for your Ultrasound Exam.
We also consider it important to attend with comfortable clothing to be able to perform this exam more easily.
One last piece of advice we give pregnant women is to be able to drink something sweet minutes before your session, so we can make your baby more active and capture better images.
