An Ultrasound Tech Shamed Me For Taking Prescription Meds While Pregnant “She began to tell me I needed a much more detailed ultrasound to make sure I hadn’t caused any damage to the baby with my ‘drug use.’”
On a particularly cold January day in 2018, I was laying on a particularly cold examining table, waiting for a technician to come examine my unborn child.

There was a 99% chance everything was fine, and my doctor had assured me of that at least 27 times before I’d left his office crying the day before.
