Ultrasounds can safely help doctors monitor the progress of a pregnancy. But now some women are getting extra, so-called keepsake ultrasounds... just to see what their growing baby looks like and to be able to show friends and family that photo. But is this safe? This week on WRVO's health and wellness show "Take Care," hosts Lorraine Rapp and Linda Lowen speak with Dr. Mary Norton, president of the society for maternal-fetal medicine and an expert in prenatal genetic diagnosis, about whether keepsake ultrasounds are a good idea.
More of this interview can be heard on "Take Care," WRVO's health and wellness show Saturday at 6:30 a.m. and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Support for this story comes from the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York.
