What a nutty guy. Poor Katie Holmes.
I'm not a medical professional, and the article doesn't go into it, so--anyone here know just what the dangers are?
Hmm. Is is a Science, or an Art?
No need go on the offensive. If the poster had experience, I wanted to hear about it. I don't need experience to err on caution.
There is no compelling reason for him to do frequent ultrasounds on a developing baby.
Ditto and it makes for an interesting start to the baby album, doesn't it? I suppose that hourly viewing or for that matter viewing for an hour is a whole different issue than even a once-a-week regime for a problem pregnancy. That might explain why we didn't face a mountain of paperwork.
Where in the Constitution does it say that the federal government exists to protect people from themselves? Stupid, uninformed behavior will happen with or without the government. That being the case, reduce the size and scope of the federal government by abolishing ridiculous federal departments that do more harm than good.
God will sort out the rest.
I felt the same way. When I read this I told my mom how dangerous this could be. I mean are they going to do 20 ultrasounds on that innocent baby? What a couple of kooks. This is the reason Tom had to impregnate a young kid - she has got to be the most naive and gullible kid to come down the pike in a long while. And she can't even act that great - they make a great pair.
there are unknown side effects from too ultrasounds. I hope he realizes this. That is why they have trained professionals managing this equipment.
I think you might be on to something. A large pez dispenser sounds great!
Attack? Gee-willikers, I asked if the poster had experience.
Calm down and move on.
Have there been any safety studies on pregnant women who have repeated ultrasounds?
Two good John Stossel columns on the FDA if you haven't seen them:

Bump for later
That's a good point. Some MDs are hypocrits on these isses but you will never convince me that multiple ultrasounds of a fetus are good. I suppose if you have enough money, they'll soon be allowing you to buy your own MRI machine too (oh and don't forget the newer machine that does the PET scans - the cost for this procedure is 7K; I know because my mom just had one).
I'm not sure what 'specific studies' this refers to, no...
Too funny. Something is seriously wrong with Tom. I know he believes aliens came here 75 million years ago. More and more, I think he is providing us good evidence that not only did they come but they apparently reproduced as he is a sure-fire descendent.
The fetus is being bombarded with soundwaves. It is unknown what the harmful effects can be. And with him purchasing the equipment using it whenever he has a whim, maybe we will all find out what those side effects are when their child is born.
I had to have ultrasounds, ONE for each pregnancy. I didnot go out and purchase one to do sonograms of my unborn child for entertainment purposes.
Next thing we are going to hear is that their sonogram is available on the internet. These two are just silly and have too much money to play with...
