I thought alot of ultrasound to the body is not good. Maybe I am wrong.

I would love participating in the study, although I will first talk about this with my husband.

It's important to have frequent ultrasound screenings during pregnancy to ensure that your little miracle is healthy and safe.

In response to the questions about the safety of ultrasound I would answer that studies to date do not reveal any maternal or fetal risk from obstetrical ultrasound. These studies have been reviewed by the Institutional Review Boards at both the National Institute of Health and at all the participating centers. The literature supporting these conclusions are reviewed with each possible study participants as part of the informed consent agreement. In addition , during the study, the duration of scanning and the thermal and mechanical exposure will be recorded and monitored to make sure exams remain within the appropriate windows. While there is always the theoretical concern of unknown risks,it is universally believed that the benefits of obstetrical ultrasound to identify multiple gestations, fetal anomalies, fetal growth abnormalities, placental problems,and abnormalities of amniotic fluid volume all significantly outweigh any currently unknown affect of obstetrical ultrasound. I hope this answers your question about ultrasound safety. In regards to the question about compensation for your study participation I would recommend that you contact the listed study coordinators for specifics .

It's a good idea to help understand better but there are concerns abouts ultrasound safety.

I was a part of a very similar study when I was pregnant with my second child. In the later stages of my pregnancy, I had a weekly ultrasound and during these visits the baby's stats were monitored for an hour. My child is 20 years old now and I find such a study to have no residual effects.
