Answer

Answer

Depends where you're from. My OB (also the entire office) does 12 week (or sometimes earlier for dating purposes if unknown), 20 weeks, and 34 weeks. The only reason you would get any more than your doctor normally does (some only do 1 or 2) is if they suspect something is wrong with the baby.

Answer

depends on the dr. i only had one at 20 weeks, i was told i would have another a month before my due date then my doctor got switch so when i asked they said not anymore unless they see a reason to

Answer

I got more at 30 weeks 32 weeks and 35 and then my son came but I was also high risk, a lot of doctors will not do another ultrasound unless they have a reason (and no making up a reason won't make them do one)  having to many ultrasounds can be risky that's why  they only do them when needed and not for long

Answer

No, unless theres a reason for concern like your fundal height not mearuing either 3 weeks more or 3 weeks less than it should. I have graves disease which is an autoimmune disorder, even with my thyroid removed, my body still makes antibodies that could affect the growth of my baby (not currently pregnat, just had my son Jan2017) which is why they did several growth scans with both of my kids.

Answer

Typically you don't get another scan after 20 unless a problem is suspected or there are certain complications. Like if you have GD they do more scans since the restricted diet can affect growth and the glucose levels affect fluids. 
They'll do a scan if you start measuring too large or small since that's when they start worrying about fluid levels. You'll probably also get one or more if you go past 40 weeks to check the placenta, fluid, etc.  The doc can usually tell position based on where the Doppler is working best, feel or the cervical exam, they'll confirm with ultrasound only if they suspect a breech in the last month or so.

Answer

Depends on your doctor. Like mine she sees her patients every month and then towards the end every 2 weeks. With me since I'm high risk she sees me more often towards the beginning and the end.
