Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Yes, the ultrasound report is absolutely normal. Also, an ultrasound scan is perfectly safe for the baby.

Many women need atleast 3-4 scans in the first three months only, due to complications.

There are no harmful effects of an ultrasound scan on the baby.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
