[ozmidwifery] ultrasounds.

[Barry MacGregor]

Dear all! I am very happy to report that more and more women are questioning repeated ultrasounds and asking doctors if it is safe to have them.  Naturally, the doctors say " of course it is safe" and then do the just another neurotic woman eye roll.  Wonderful though that these women stand up for themselves, sad though that some midwives advocate the use of multiple ultrasounds and also state that they are safe.  However, with more assertive women the opportunity for midwifery lead care seems brighter, just a shame about those obstetric nurses, may they not be our downfall.
