How often does your OB?

Question

How often does your OB do an ultrasound for you, or Doppler? Is it at every appointment? Or some appointment some not? 
Mine did mine at 6wks, 10wks and they said they won’t do one at 14 weeks and that I’ll have to wait again until my 20wks appointment. For me personally I’m terrified of that! I have such terrible anxiety that I’m afraid to go another 10wks not knowing if something if happened to the baby? My anxiety stems off my mom miscarrying and she had no cramping or bleeding at all, she found out only because they didn’t find a heartbeat. And I’m terrified of that! 
Anyone know of way to ease the anxiety, and tips on how to make it the next 10wks without seeing or hearing my baby 😩

Answer

Mine did one every appt (once a month & every other week when I hit 36 weeks). Everyone who goes to her gets one each visit. I'm assuming it's because there is an ultrasound machine in every room?

Answer

I had an ultrasound every week from 5-8 weeks because my progesterone was so low, they wanted to make sure the baby was growing properly. After that, I did it get an ultrasound until 21 weeks (anatomy scan), and I’ll get a growth scan somewhere around the 32 week mark. 
We get to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler at every appointment though.

Answer

At the fertility doctor I had an ultrasound at 6w, 9w
First OB appt I had one at 12w to confirm the pregnancy  
High risk doctor gave one at 19w
Will have another at the high risk doctor at 27 weeks because of placenta previa
Then I guess theres only one in your 30s week
Typically people get 2-3 an emtire pregnancy. Thats the norm.

Answer

Mine does the Doppler every appt starting at 12 weeks. Most people only get two ultrasounds but I get them every other week because I’m at very high risk of preterm labor again.

Answer

We do Doppler for 3 minutes every app for a steady heart rate , and a ultrasound every appointment as well. Started the Doppler at 11 weeks but didn’t hear until 16 and started with the ultrasound at 24 since we switch from a family doc to our obgyn then :)

Answer

I only had 3 and I had to ask for the last. one confirmation,  one anatomy and then a final I actually waa very glad I did. I was 4 days over due and they ended up inducing me bevause of blood in the amniotic fluid and in the baby's intestines

Answer

I had a confirm pregnancy scsn an anatomy scan and I need another one at 32 weeks becuase they think I have placenta previa so they gotta go in for another US to check it to make sure the placenta moved. that's pretty typical. 2 or 3 in a pregnancy. my midwives check my Doppler heartbeat every time I go in so I hear that about once a month but most women only have 2 ultrasounds

Answer

I only had two ultrasounds, one to confirm and one anatomy scan.
