Obstetricians raise alarm on the boom in pregnancy ‘reassurance’ ultrasound clinics
Unregulated scans can give women a false sense of security, RANZCOG president elect Dr Nisha Khot says.
Obstetricians say the rise of unregulated ‘reassurance clinics’ offering ultrasounds to pregnant women risk missed ectopic pregnancies and late-term terminations.
The clinics promise reassurance for women on the health of their pregnancy, providing 3D and 4D colour pictures of the baby at any trimester.
