An ultrasound is actually just a machine that transmits sound waves. The soundwaves bounce off your internal organs and the baby, and that is what creates the image. They are completely harmless to the baby and to you. You may be confusing this pregnancy procedure with an amniocentesis (amnio). These are dangerous. An amnio is when they insert a needle into your uterus through your belly and take a sample of the amniotic fluid for testing. After having an amnio, you have about a 50% chance (give or take) of miscarrying, so unless it is completely 100% necessary, it may not be worth the risk.

Southern California Edison, our electric company, puts fliers in with their bills about the effects of EMF (electro magnetic fields) on the body. The scientists who have studied the effects do conclude that there could be a link between EMF and miscarriage. What this means to you is you will want to try to stay away from appliances that produce a high amount of EMF like the vacuum cleaner, can opener, hair dryer, flourescent lighting. God bless your journey.

Absolutely not! Ultrasounds just use harmless rays to see through your abdomen to check on the little one! And, do you think docs would be using them if they were potentially harmful? Give the docs more credit than that!

No, it can't cause it, but it can be crucial in diagnosing one. They are safe and can be very helpful.
