We know someone that had surgery on the baby immediately after birth because of what was seen on the ultrasound. If they hadn't had an ultrasound the mother wouldn't have delivered at a bigger hospital that was prepared for the surgery. I believe you just need to be careful with the information given at the ultrasound.<br />With my first pregnancy, the doctor was very concerned that I hadn't had an ultrasound yet and it was getting close to 20 weeks. She wanted to make sure I had enough time to terminate after the ultrasound. After the ultrasound I changed doctors! I was never concerned when that one ultrasound was, just that they looked at the organs carefully because my dad's family has something to look for at the ultrasound that would possibly mean surgery for the baby. None of our Lambs ever had it and it was distant in the family tree, but I wanted to use ultrasound technology here if necessary.Ewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049392222474704158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826516410441401786.post-25348711787340592352017-03-03T06:10:22.605-07:002017-03-03T06:10:22.605-07:00Yes.

That's it. <br /><br />The midwives and doctors at the practice we go to actually were sued in a "wrongful life" lawsuit because a baby was born with Down's. I was shocked. <br /><br />Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124853867811087834noreply@blogger.com
