38 weeks ultrasound??? Normal ? 🤔

Question

Question ladies !
Is it normal that every since I hit 36 weeks I’ve been getting an ultrasound every week ! And every week it seems nothing important is being reported!
At 36 weeks my baby was measuring 8 pounds in the 75th percentile so he’s abnormally big
But I have no GD just genetic 
Why I have to keep going to these ultrasound I don’t get it 
I even have one at 38 weeks next week and I’m debating if I should even go ! 
Any one had a 38weeks ultrasound???

Answer

I get ultrasounds every visit, and I'm not high risk. I'm healthy as is babe. I also got ultrasounds every visit with my other two kids. I particularly like seeing my baby any chance I get.

Answer

Making sure baby doesn't get too big

Answer

It doesn’t seem normal to me.. Where I am you only get the one ultrasound at 20 weeks unless something comes up that the need to keep an eye on..  I wouldn’t just skip it though ask your Ob if it’s necessary and why

Answer

It could just be your hospital or your area.
I’m pretty sure where I live it’s common to have a ultrasound every week from 36 weeks.
Ask your doctor if you are unsure

Answer

It doesn’t seem normal. Most women only get one done at 34 weeks. They generally only do more if they’re watching for something or something is wrong. I would ask them why you need so many.

Answer

Maybe since baby was in 75th percentile they want to keep an eye on the weight to make sure they don’t need to deliver? I’d ask for sure.
