[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar to the technicians themselves, I don't know the sound frequency or volume magnitudes of ultra sounds machines.  However, pods of dolphins and whales become disoriented after being blasted with Navy sonar and they sometimes beach themselves usually resulting in death.

I can easily believe there could be damaging and even lethal magnitudes of sound volumes transmitted to fetuses which are surrounded by amnyotic fluid from ultrasound machines. [/quote]

Lethal magnitudes of sound volumes from an ordinary u/s machine? Reality called for you,  PP. It wants to get back in touch. :roll:[/quote]

Speaking of a reality check, this is DCUM  not the New England Journal of Medicine. So why the hostility?  This is just  a conversation. [b]People of normal intellect would attack a statement not another person. [/b]

At any rate in the early stages of pregnancies when a heart beat is first present the fetus is tiny. There many instances when a woman has had one ultrasound and there was a heartbeat present only to return for a second ultrasound sometime later only to find there is no longer a heartbeat and the fetus has perished. When this type of early development miscarriage occurs doctors usually have no explanation.

Following the context of this dialog, is it possible that excessive sound magnitude could cause developmental damage or death to a tiny and unquestionably fragile fetus which is only weeks old. [/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted, and your bolded statement is hilarious. Rarely do DCUM posters capture unintentional irony so poignantly.  :lol:

But to the larger issue, the statement was completely out of touch with any reality. We don't know the exact cause of many early miscarriages. True. But we do know that there is no increased incidence of early miscarriage among women who have ultrasounds compared to women who do not--colorful speculation about sea animals, notwithstanding. Let's apply some of that "normal intellect."[/quote]
