[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I definitely don't think it proves anything, but can't see any harm into investigating any reasonably possible cause.[/quote]

+1.  I also think it isn't a bad thing to give people a reason to back off of the ultrasounds for sport.  Of course certain types of and conditions in pregnancies warrant frequent ultrasounds, but ultrasounds at every appointment just because it is fun for mom to see the baby, or, worse yet, ultrasounds at a non-medical place to get some cool 3-D pictures or find out the sex of the baby early???  A little ridiculous.  [/quote]

The harm is that you discourage people from procedures that are actually fine, and cause stress and heartache over something that is harmless. Think, for example, about the AMA or multiples mom who is already worried about her pregnancy risks and now has to worry that her additional monitoring may cause harm as well. I agree with first PP that there is no harm in investigating, but there is harm in overstating your results and associating a risk without real evidence. [/quote]
