    Not dangerous at all. It is just an ultrasound but they go through and measure everything to make sure baby is good. They look at the organs and measure the head circumference, also the femur bone. There is a fold on the back of the neck called a nucal fold and they look at that to see if it is normal, if not that is some sort of indicator for downs.
    They basically check EVERYTHING possible.

    Just a more in depth ultra sound. They check all organs do a doppler on blood flow in placenta and cord. They check for markers for downs and spinal/neural tube defects as well. You just have to show up and watch your lil one wiggle around on the screen :-)
