Does ultrasound scan affect baby
I am scheduled for my first ultrasound scan tomorrow. This is my first successful pregnancy so I’m curious to know, does ultrasound scan affect baby? Do these scans cause any indirect long term harm to the baby? Please provide me with well-explained and informative answers for the same. Thank you!

If it was harmful it wouldn’t be recommend. These are kind of sound waves and have no harmful effect on baby
