I am a registered ultrasound technologist specializing in high risk OB and pediatrics. Ultrasound will not cause a miscarriage. Please seek out another perinatologist(high risk OB/GYN doc). Call them and ask before seeing the doctor if they are familiar with RDS. Have your OB send you to another perinatologist for a second opinion.

I would like to get preg. again but I am worried about the stress it would take on my current family, not the fetus. I have a 5 year old and 3 year old. Plus a 42 year old husband! I asked my rsd doctor if I could get preg. again and he said...why not! A pregnancy can occur and survive, even with pain killers. Pain killers cannot cross the placenta. However, if you are in pain, your body is under stress and the stress of the pain could cause more problems like high blood pressure that could lead to early delivery or other problems.

Congrats. Find a good perinatologist and get regular ultrasounds to watch the baby's growth and development.
