Hello and Welcome to the JB Doula Podcast!

This episode is a hefty one. I spent the last two weeks diving deep into Ultrasound in Pregnancy. 

I was surprised by how much there was to process! 

Here I'll share my summary of -->

What is Ultrasound | When it's Used | Is it Safe? | Risks | Benefits | Alternatives | And Recommendations. 

There's a lot to get into, and my hope is that this provides you a cohesive introduction to ultrasound in pregnancy. This is not intended to diagnose or dictate whether or not you should have an ultrasound during your pregnancy. Merely a resource to give you a starting point should you want to learn more.
