They all believe it is safe and not harmful to the baby…because that is what the doctors say. But, are they right? I don’t know because I have not personally studied the subject but my view on this matter is why subject the baby to a treatment which no one really knows whether it is safe long term?
There have been many, many protocols and treatments over the years that have been deemed safe by the medical profession only to find, sometimes decades later that they were wrong. So, in my opinion why take the risk. I have expressed this view many times but it seems curiosity always gets the expectant mother and they do it anyway.
Anyway, here is a guy that has done some research on the matter and has written an article about it. If you or any of your family or friends are pregnant it may be a good idea to read the article and at least be better informed to make your own decisions.

Great article!
Consider this:
<p class= x_title2 >Unknown effects of repeated exposure:
Audible sound travels at 10 to 20 thousand cycles per second. Ultrasound travels from 10 to 20 million cycles per second. In a study conducted in 2001, a small hydrophone was inserted in a woman’s uterus. The recorded sound reached 100 decibels, similar to a subway train coming into a station. In addition to sound, vibration and heat affect the fetus during an ultrasound.
The exposure to the fetus depends on the equipment, length of procedure and number of procedures. Long and short-term effects of accelerated sound waves on a developing fetus are unknown. Beverley Beech, a consumer activist in the United Kingdom calls routine fetal ultrasound the biggest uncontrolled experiment in history.
