Ultrasound Safety
I forgot to add......
My OB has done an u/s every time I go in for a visit. He did this with Skyler and he's a happy, normal, perfectly healthy 9 month old. He's done the same with this pregnancy as well. I literally have have BOOK full of u/s pictures!
The new u/s technology has very little side effects in my opinion
Best Wishes!

Hey Mel,
I had over 10+ ultrasounds due to bleeding during pregnancy so I don't think it is that.
There are genes for autism. They don't know they activate but ultrasound probably won't activate it. We are bombarded with so many sound waves, cell phones, tv, radio and things from space every day-- ultrasound is very mild in comparison. There is pesticide on our regular food and rocket fuel or heavy metals in our organic food. We've got crazy things in our water, mold in our houses... Enough to make you wonder forever.
I do hope we find out soon why the autism gene activates for some kids and not for others.
Guilt and mommyhood go hand in hand unfortunately.

I agree with the posters above that we can worry about anything.... this is just another thing to worry about. (And am I good at worrying!)
We really don't know what causes Autism..... BUT....dang this scares me! I had 10 - YES TEN!!!!!!!!!! Ultrasounds with Cooper !!!!
Plus I think ASD runs in my husbands family....
I keep trying to find if there is a way to prevent Autism....and I cannot find anything reassuring.

I had 8 ultrasounds with my last pregnancy and Kellen is not only nowhere NEAR autistic, but he is VERY VERBAL! I can't shut him up. LOL.
I think there are so many scary what-ifs out there. Because it is becoming more and more prevelant, it's easy to make anything a possibility. I didn't get Kellen the MMR because of this. I was scared ****less. Neuro issues run in the family but no one with autism.
I so wish they could just find the darn reason already. There are too many possibilities out there and it's frightening to think of all the things we could have done to cause or prevent it. :-(
Take care,
Sandy
