An ultrasound scan has no lasting effect
on a fetus. Regular ultrasound scans
during pregnancy are very useful for early
detection of some disorders that might be
experienced during pregnancy. Furthermore,
an ultrasound scan in the 9th week of
pregnancy is used to confirm a fetal heart
beat. You might re-consider performing the
ultrasound scan in 3 weeks' time, as the
procedure is used as a check-up diagnostic
tool.
Yes, it seems that you may drink raspberry
tea during pregnancy.
