3D - 2

Are there any side affects to 3D ultra sound pictures? (if so, what?)?

I'm expecting and I was looking forward to maybe getting 3D ultra sound pictures done for the experience and for a photo book. But then I was told by someone that a doctor had warned her not to get it done because the rays were too strong for the baby and had a possibility of getting eye problems. Let me know if you have also heard or have read any factual information in regard to the 3D ultra sound.

1. None whatsoever I've never heard of an eye problem following a 3D
2. I wouldnt worry. Read this article for more information about 3D ultrasounds and how they differ from 2D: http://www.expectantmothersguide.com/library/newjersey/ultrasound.htm
3. I've never heard of eye problems resulting from use of 3D ultrasound ... or, any issues for that matter. I had a diagnostic 3D ultrasound performed at a perinatal testing center at my local hospital. I doubt my doctor would write me an order for an ultrasound or an accredited perinatal testing center would perform an ultrasound that was dangerous.
