Is it normal to wait 10+ weeks for another ultrasound?

Question

I had my last ultrasound at 8 weeks, 2 days. Doc doesn't want another until I'm about 20 weeks. My friend who just had twins said her doc ordered them biweekly when they discovered it wasn't a singleton pregnancy (this was at 9weeks). I was just curious what y'all thought.

I'm just going to take it as this meaning that he is confident that everything is just fine ? ha.

Thoughts?

Answer

For my twins they did ultrasound at 12 weeks then again at 20 for anatomy scan. I'm not worried about it I think having one every couple weeks is a bit much if nothing is wrong. My dr hasn't mentioned doing more yet. If you are concerned talk to your dr about it.

Answer

Hm, I don't know if it's like this for everyone but when my soctor discovered it was twins ( at 12 weeks) he had me start going to a Maternal Getal Doctor that specializes in High Risk/Multiples. In the earlier weeks I would see both OBGYN every 4 weeks. And then Now I am at every 2 weeks with my OBGYN and 4 with my MFD and after this I'll be going to MFT every two and my ONgYN every week ??. It's a lot of appointments but I love it! I get to see my girls at both doctors??. I would definitely share your concerns with your doctor. Good luck with your twins!!❤️❤️

Answer

No I get ultrasounds once a month because of the twins... they have to make sure there growing ect I would communicate your concern with your ob immediately

Answer

I've been seeing a perinatal doc every 4 weeks for in depth ultrasound and reg doc every 4 weeks also. So I end up having an US every other week or so, which gives me peace of mind! I would check into other docs. Plus they should be doing your first trimester screen for abnormalities and birth defects at 12 weeks and the anatomy scan at 18 weeks.

Answer

My doc does one every time I see him! I don't know about other docs, but if you feel uncomfortable I would ask him why he wants to wait that long or find a new doc. They need to check often to see if they are growing properly. I hope that helps.

Answer

He could be just confident. But honestly, I've already had two, going to my third one on Thursday, and I'm only 12 weeks. I would ask why so late. Do you know what type of twins you are having? They haven't been able to see very much with mine, so they are hoping this appointment will answer questions.

Answer

I have them once a month but only because I'm expecting twins and considered high risk. Most all my friends only got two their whole pregnancies one to date the pregnancy and one to look for gender so it's probably how they do it mostly. If you really want more ultrasounds you can try looking for a company but you will have to pay out of pocket for them.

Answer

Thanks y'all! I will ask him about it when I see him for my checkup on the 22nd. I would hate to change doctors again mid pregnancy ? oii.
