Is a growth ultrasound normal?

Question

My doctor ordered one for me at 36 weeks. I'm not high risk, and every visit when they measure my tummy I am either ahead or on track. I saw online people say it's only offered if you're high risk or not measuring right. I didn't think much of it when she told me I would have one. I thought it was normal. Anyone else just get ordered one just to check weight because it's normal?

Answer

It's totally normal. My dr said they do a 36 week growth scan on everyone. It also helps them determine if baby is head down or breech at that point.

Answer

I got told after having mine with my first I'd be lucky is she was even 5lb and she was a healthy 6lb 10oz when she was born I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer

I have one ordered for Friday . Supposedly my baby is in the 97% percentile so she wants to see how big baby is even though when she measures my belly in right on track!!

Answer

I have to have one since I have gestational diabetes. It's probably normal and every dr is different.

Answer

Nope! Some doctors just like to get an estimate on baby's size before birth :) don't worry!

Answer

I had to get two one at 32 one at 36

Answer

My dr did one and I'm not high risk and there was no concern about babies size.
