15 Weeks with Baby #1 asked:

My u/s was for finding out how far along in pregnancy I was and I was considering in the future to find out the sex of my baby and possibly get the 3d/4d us. However, after reading the study below and the FDA warning I think I will just find out the sex of my child when he or she is born. We don’t do baby showers (so not knowing won’t affect anything) we actually do a shower after the baby is born and they have names so its almost like introducing them to society.

how many US did you have?

My grandmother distrusts ultrasounds because she said that the same argument was given for xrays during her time so she thinks its a matter of time before US will also be regulated/
