I received this comment via email:

A friend, an aerospace engineer, related what her pediatric neurospecialist/ former college mate related when they met up in the 1990s: the partner in the college mate's practice used extensive ultrasound on their high risk pregnancies, while the college mate never did, and outcomes even in unknown and high risk situations were always better for the infants who had not received ultrasounds.

Thanks so much for your articles.

Quoted from the article under Fetal Reactivity:

'One of the first things that made me suspicious of ultrasound was noticing that once ultrasound was applied, fetuses would react to it, and *often seem as though they were trying to get away from it* as the probe was directed towards them—which suggested, contrary to what we were told, ultrasound was not inert.' [Asterisks are mine]

Perhaps doctors should *reassess* the fetal/embryonic process in general. Human embryos develop ALL neurological networks, tactile sensory networks, bone and skeletal structures, all major organ systems, and essential brain function in LESS THAN NINE MONTHS. It's a goddamn miracle. Hello???

Any of these alleged "doctors" requiring informed consent of the fetus? Anyone asking the trillions of cells and molecules if it's alright to irradiate them into permanent deformation? Perhaps "doctors" could reassess the entire birthing paradigm - prior to applying completely unnecessary modalities and procedures... I'm sure the fetus would appreciate your concern.
