Ultrasound Question??

Question

Hi. I am 10.5 weeks and only seen my dr. @ 6 weeks. I was sent for blood work and my first round of maternal serum but when do you get an ultrasound? Is it sooner for 35+? It’s been 7 years so I forget and I am not sure if it’s different after 35...

Answer

I had multiple losses and I also think every office does it differently but I had one at 6,7,8,12,20, and 32 weeks for this pregnancy. My 32 week growth scan is on Thursday. Not sure if I’ll have anymore after that. With my daughter I had one at 32 and then another at 39 weeks. Can’t remember why.  She did have a cyst on her ovary so I know they were keeping an eye on that.

Answer

Yep...weeks 8, 11, 14, 20 and 30 I had ultrasounds.

Answer

I think my first ultrasound was 8 weeks..

Answer

I had a few more than normal too due to a previous loss. Every doctor’s office is different but i feel like most women get a dating scan around 8 weeks, a NT scan around 12 weeks (esp for 35+ women, it checks for markers of Down syndrome), and an anatomy scan around 20 weeks. That’s it. Some may do another near the end of the pregnancy to confirm baby’s positioning.
