Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the ultrasound is the safest at any stage of pregnancy .It is not associated with any harmful effects on the fetus.Usually three scans are advisable throughout the pregnancy.First within 12 weeks,second between 20-22 weeks and 3rd on around 34-36 weeks of pregnancy.First scan is very important to know the wellbeing of fetus and dating of pregnancy ie.,delivery date is known accurately from first scan.So dont worry.Go for the scan without any doubts.
I assure you there are no bad effects with it.
