Are Transvaginal Ultrasounds Safe At 11 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
Question: Hello Doctor,
My name is XXXXXXX Vyas and My Wife name is Vijaylaxmi.
She is 11 weeks pregnant and this is her first pregnancy. As we both are new to this time of our life i have few queries :-
1. We had first veginal Ultrasound on 10th Oct - To rule out pregnancy. Second vaginal ultrasound on 23rd Oct to confirm the same and Dcotor again did the normal ultraosound on 18th Nov . All the reports are normal and doctor told that every thing is perfectly normal.
Is this safe to have frequent Ultrasound ? As i heard these are harmful to baby. ?
