Does an ultrasound during pregnancy affect the baby?

Patient's question:

Does an ultrasound during pregnancy affect the baby? A total of six ultrasounds were performed. What help do you want: explain whether an ultrasound affects the baby's intelligence or other aspects of development.

Doctor's answer:

Ultrasound is the monitoring data of the baby's growth process. The ultrasound currently used is for diagnostic purposes (not for treatment), with very low energy. Additionally, the thorough examination time is generally short, making it very safe. Throughout the entire pregnancy, it is usually necessary to have 7 or more ultrasounds, but they do not need to be done frequently. Excessive frequency with short intervals can have an impact on the baby. It is recommended that you follow the doctor's advice during prenatal check-ups, pay attention to changes in your abdomen, maintain a balanced diet, and regularly check your blood pressure at home.
