There is no harm in getting an ultrasound. Now multiple ultrasounds, maybe.

Unfortunately, many women do not realize that they ARE getting multiple ultrasounds even with a textbook pregnancy.

Doppler, used during every prenatal appointment is an u/s technology as well, and even stronger then u/s itself, so few seconds of doppler can be easily counted as few minutes of u/s.
EFM (electronic fetal monitoring)—another strong u/s technology—used during labor can be used for as long as labor goes and sometimes it can go for days.
