When do I get an ultrasound ?

Question

I'm 31 weeks and I've only got 1 when I was 19weeks. Like how do they know my baby is growing too small or too big of if something's wrong 😒 am I going to get another one ? 😩

Answer

It all depends on your OB
Mine goes by the following:
Initial Ultrasound: 12 weeks
Gender/Anatomy Scan: 20 weeks
My baby girl wouldn't cooperate and kept flipping so we got another one at 24 weeks.
Third Trimester "weight" Scan: 32 weeks

So normally mine does 3 but I got 4.
I am not high risk and my baby is measuring right on target.

Answer

Ask your dr! I got one at 20 weeks and asked my dr if I was gonna get another one and he was like sure!! Do he let me get another one at 31 weeks

Answer

They won't give you another one unless they think something may be wrong. I had my last one at 34 weeks because I kept measuring big and bugged the doctor about an ultrasound lol. He wasn't concerned with me being bigger but did the ultrasound to make me happy. Before that my last one was at 19weeks.

Answer

You won't be getting another ultrasound unless your belly is measuring over 3cm different than it should (+3 or -3) , according to my doctor. Also, doctors can usually tell baby's position by feeling around on your belly. If they can't determine position that way, they may do an ultrasound. It all varies on your doctor and if baby is cooperative position wise.

Answer

Your midwife measures your baby unless your high risk the. You have more scans
