Okay MD's, explain yourselves!

<p>But I didn’t ask about doing ultrasounds at the mall for fun and games. I asked about the safety of doing one or two per pregnancy specifically to test for genetic abnormalities. As I suspected, there are no known risks to bouncing sound waves off babies in utero, so that is where the risk/benefit ratio may land squarely on the side of testing, particularly for families who have a risk of such problems occurring. The benefit of knowing in advance, and possibly being able to treat the baby for such problems could clearly outweigh the (as of now unknown risk) of doing the ultrasound.</p>
