> There's no safety reason why you shouldn't do this.
When you have seen a few done wrong you disagree with this. They have an inherent potential for death and injury and incidents are frequent, unlike US. Then there is the whole implant safety and contrast safety side of things.
People won't be replacing pregnancy scans with MR any time soon, and the cost of the machine is not the primary reason for this. They scan too slowly and pregnant women aren't that keen on lying still for ages. It's sometimes even unsafe to encourage extended periods of lying supine. US is just too cheap and readily available.
