One thing most moms don't know or don't get advice about is that the fetal ultrasound will most likely be affected by radiation. This is the conclusion of the French National Academy of Medicine and the French Food and Drug Administration (AFSSAPS).

The agency has urged mothers to be extremely cautious with fetal ultrasound for purposes other than diagnosis, since radiation emitted from used machines could harm the fetus.

The ultrasound of the fetus in our country still has a lot of things to discuss, because most of the existing ultrasound ultrasound facilities of the private sector do not have enough procedures for proper use of radiation. Fetal sex ultrasound has become popular and causes many concerns.

In addition, CD printing services, or VCDs for mothers to take a disc to the family to watch the fetus or see pictures of the child in the fetus has become a problem that must be considered. The formation of this movement, although it does not cost anything for every family because it only takes 20,000 - 40,000 VND to go for an ultrasound, it is possible to receive a disc with the image and movement of a baby with several months of gestation.

However, to capture the clearest and ' promote ' the baby image as well as ' emphasize ' the male or female sex, it can make the mother stay in the ultrasound process for a long time, which means that radiation can be so much that it harms both mother and baby .

The movement to shoot ultrasound and video recordings was earlier than abroad and was warned a lot. In our country, this is beginning to become a trend of many families adversely affecting the fetus but hardly any mother noticed.
