how often should i be getting ultrasounds?

Question

from what i've heard its every time i go since twin pregnancies are considered high risk, but someone also told me that its no more than usual.

Answer

Every twin pregnancy is different a long with every provider. I'm pregnant with mom/di girls. Once a week I have a phone appt with my paranatology nurse or my Dr. to talk about pre-term labor signs, I go in every 2 weeks for checkups and a quick ultrasound and once a month for an anatomy scan.

Answer

I'm 13 weeks with mono/di twins. The doctors thought they were mono/mono until yesterday. But my doctor told me that when I hit 16 weeks I have to go to the hospital every week for an u/s to check fluid levels and to make sure my babies are growing at the same rate. Apparently my doctor doesn't play with TTTS. I would expect you to be monitored just as much if you're babies are sharing their sac

Answer

Every office is different, but this is how mine is.

First ultrasound at 7 weeks to confirm pregnancy, second at 8 weeks to make sure both were growing and had heartbeats. The nuchal around 12 weeks.

Then it was once a month for scans and an OB every two weeks for second trimester.

Now in the third trimester I have a scan/ OB every week. But every third week is a full growth scan, the other two are short ones to check fluid level and make sure heartbeats and breathing is all good.

Answer

I'm high risk and I have mono/di girls. At first I had an ultrasound once a month with my ob then after my anatomy scan at 18 weeks with perinatology  (maternal fetal medicine) I started getting one every 2 weeks (once a month for measurements to make sure they are growing at the same rate and every time I go they check to make sure their fluid is equal, their bladder and kidneys).

Answer

I'm every 4week scans and classed as high risk

Answer

My high risk ultrasound were every 8wk, 13wk, 20wk next is at 24wk. At 28wk they want to see me every 2 wks. After 35wks it's about every 4-5 days for stress tests.

Answer

I've been going to my OB every two weeks and every time we do an ultrasound because I'm having twins

Answer

Please talk with your doctor.

Answer

My regular OB uses a little handheld ultrasound to look at their hearts at every appt because dopplers aren't that accurate with two. I get a full ultrasound every time I see my MFM specialist. Was every 4 weeks and now it's every 2 weeks

Answer

I get an ultrasound every time I see my Maternal Fetal Specialist. In the beginning it was once a month, now it is every 2-3 weeks.
