How many ultrasounds?

Question

How many ultrasounds do you normally get from your doc through out your pregnancy? I've only had two so far and I'm 34 weeks now. Will I get one more before my due date? I'm aware I can go to a different clinic and pay for one or whatever. But generally speaking here?!

Answer

I am 34 weeks pregnant and I only had 2 ultrasounds done this entire time. My sister had a bunch and I was so jealous because we go to the same clinic so I didn't think it was fair. I then found out she had so many done because the doctors were monitoring the baby's spine, since they couldn't see it and thought it could be spina bifida. 
So I guess we should be happy our babies have been so healthy and haven't had the need for more ultrasounds ?

Answer

Only one for me. I had it at 20 weeks.

Answer

I had one at 8 weeks, one optional at 12 weeks (genetic testing), 20 week anatomy scan, and one very quick one at 24 weeks. My doctor said I would not get another unless there was something wrong. 34 weeks now, and it doesn't bother me if I don't get any more. I feel her move like crazy all day, that's enough for me.

Answer

I only got one at 20 weeks.

Answer

I had my first 14 weeks 2 days I am high risk I will have another at 15 weeks 3 days and then if nothing is wrong 20 weeks and finally about 28 weeks I will get my 3d ultrasound

Answer

Answer

In UK you get one around 12 weeks and one around 24 I think. They don't even let you hear the heartbeat until 24 weeks! I paid for an 8 week scan for reassurance and brought myself a Doppler too so I can be assured while I'm at home without bugging the widwife. I'm 9.4 weeks now and don't have my first official scan until 7th January which seems like a lifetime away ha x

Answer

I go every 4 weeks then once I'm close to 9 months I go every week or 2.

Answer

My OB ultrasounds every 4 weeks starting at 6-7 weeks. When I get to 28 weeks I go in every 2 weeks then at 36 weeks I go in every 1 week for ultrasounds and baby check.

But my OB is a specialist for fertility issues. Each OB is different based on your situation.

Answer

I have had 4 so far. I am 23 weeks. First was just to find the nugget at 6 weeks. Second was Nuchal Translucency test (as I'm 34 years old) at 12 weeks. At 20 weeks, we had the anatomy scan, but there's an echogenic focus, so we had to have an additional ultrasound for a full body anatomy scan. I don't know that we're going to have any more, but I think it's normal to have 2-3 scans total.
