For me also, the information obtained during ultrasounds far outweigh the possible dangers. For me personally without ultrasound two of my three children probably would not have been here, due to abnormalities that were found purely by coincidence during ultrasound. As a result of the knowledge gained during the ultrasound I was able to be treated, and all turned out well.

It is however a personal choice, and one that can only be made with all the information.

I am trying to decide whether to go ahead with my routine 20 week scan. I have already had two scans, a brief one when I was in hospital for intravenours fluids from vomitting around 9 weeks, then the NT scan at 12 weeks. I know my date of conception and I know I have just one baby not two, so what else are they going to tell me - there is no way I would terminate no matter what they tell me at this stage.

thanks,
