*Ultrasound Safety in Pregnancy*

Ultrasound (USG) is safe in pregnancy because it uses sound waves, not radiation. It helps doctors monitor the baby’s growth, detect abnormalities, and assess fetal wellbeing.

Major organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) confirm that diagnostic ultrasound has no proven harmful effects when used appropriately.

Doctors follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to keep exposure minimal.

Ultrasound is a safe and essential tool for maternal and fetal care.

Kindly consult your gynaecologist for better treatment and advise.
