Question

Hello, I would like to know which routine examinations during pregnancy are permitted according to Halacha, and which are not. Thank you in advance.

Answer

Hello

There is no prohibition against conducting examinations.

Our teacher, Rabbi Fried, shlita, does not recommend conducting examinations during a normal pregnancy, except for blood tests, urine tests, ultrasound, according to the usual procedure.

[In-depth examinations such as system screening, chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, etc., are recommended not to be conducted, except in cases of high-risk pregnancy or when there is a known suspicion of a problem].
