Is it normal? No ultrasound & I’m 39weeks

Question

I’m currently 39 weeks & I’m getting induced on Monday I’m extremely happy and terrified BUT I’m concerned because I haven’t had an ultrasound since 30 weeks I was seeing an high risk pregnancy doctor and they did all my ultrasounds my doctor stopped doing them at 14weeks since I was getting them weekly from the high risk pregnancy doctor who released me from there care at 30weeks . Is it normal to go so long without one ? I have been seeing my obgyn doctor every week since 30weeks before it was every 2weeks but he hasn’t giving me an ultrasound my last & final appointment I had Wednesday he told me I was getting induced Monday but still no ultrasound. Is it normal? Or am I overreacting ? How do they know the current care of the baby without an ultrasound?

Answer

I’m “high risk” due to age and weight, but only had 2 ultrasound total. I’m due tomorrow.... but as of 4 days ago, cervix was still closed. I think they might due another ultrasound sound next Monday if baby isn’t here by then

Answer

I’m getting induced Monday and high risk so my consultant made me have scans at 30 weeks 32weeks 34weeks and 36weeks  so I believe you should of had another one at less since 30 weeks if your high risk. But as long as they have been keep eye on heartbeat and your blood pressure they must not be concerned Hun try and relax and enjoy these last few days xx

Answer

Usually you just get two! One at the beginning and then the anatomy scan at 19-21w! I have had 3 because they did an extra growth scan when baby’s fundal height was measuring 3 weeks behind! As long as baby’s heartbeat is strong and the fundal height is where It’s supposed to be they don’t usually do Ultrasounds after the anatomy scan

Answer

I’ve had two ultrasounds altogether. A third one at 24weeks bc they couldn’t see baby’s spine in the second one. My doctor just checks the heartbeat at every appointment and doesn’t do an ultrasound. That’s how they know that baby is okay.
