With DD1 I had 4 ultrasounds. There was the dating, NT, anatomy, and an elective. in the third trimester we paid for an elective because I was FTM nervous nelly and wanted to see the baby again. 
With DD2 it was just 3, dating, NT and anatomy.
How many ultrasounds did you have or having?

3 with my son. Should be 3 this time as well. Dating, NT and anatomy.
ETA: forgot. Around 9 weeks I had the smallest streak of blood and went to the ER and they did a quick ultrasound with the portable machine.

4...dating, gender, anatomy scan and another to check on CPCS
Our OB wanted a 5th to check on baby's size at 37 weeks but we opted out

3 ... dating, 1st tri, and anatomy.
I think we'll do the same next time. I'm not high-risk in general, but have a higher risk for neural tube defects, so the peace of mind of the 1st tri screening was really nice to have.

So far we will have four...8 week dating, 12 week, 20 week and soon 28 week since the baby is measuring large. DH is not too happy because he read somewhere the heat from the ultrasounds is bad for baby. I'm excited about the upcoming one and hope to see my little guy's member. When we found out the sex we didn't have an ultrasound photo with proof.

I lost count with G. Around 12? I had early bleeding, plus an unusual placenta that they wanted to monitor. I had at least one a month.

A lot with lo1 - dating scan, NT, Anatomy, 3d/4d one that I paid extra for, and then got ultrasounds every 2 weeks starting at 28 weeks due to growth concerns.
lo2 - dating scan, NT and anatomy

DD1 was 4.5. Dating, NT, elective, anatomy and a quick one in l&d triage to make sure baby was head down.
21 weeks with DD2 and I've had 4 - dating, check in a cyst, NT, anatomy. May have another cyst check but not sure..

Lots! My OB does a quick ultrasound at every single appointment. Plus my anatomy scan and one extra ultrasound when I came in unscheduled after experiencing some bleeding.

At least 5-6 with my first child. I think I had at least 3 maybe 4 with my second. I was supposed to have one at 38 weeks but didn't make it that far!

I had 5 - dating, NT scan, one unscheduled after some bleeding, anatomy scan, and one really quick one to see if baby was head down at 37 weeks!

DS1: 3. It was an easy, routine pregnancy.
DS2: I've had 5 already and I'm only 17 weeks. I have a complete placenta previa and have had 2 bleeding episodes, hence the extra ultrasounds. I imagine I'll have a few more ultrasounds this pregnancy!

3. Dating, NT, anatomy. It would have been 2 (NT and anatomy) if I hadn't had a previous m/c so they wanted to check early.

3 total: dating, anatomy, and one when at 40 weeks to make sure fluid levels were good. It was so crazy to see her then! She was chewing on her umbilical cord. (She waited another week to make her appearance).
kiwi / 631 posts
So far I've had 5 (NT scan, anatomy scan, fetal echo, 2 growth scans) with two more growth scans scheduled. But I have to schedule them up until I deliver because I have risk factors for my placenta not working and because my babies umbilical cord only has two vessels instead of three. So far, so good though.

I had 5 last time - dating, NT, anatomy, growth check around 33 wks and one on my due date.
This time I've had 4 so far and have another scheduled for 36 wks.

Ds1 I had 3 plus a quick in office one to check fluid. Dating (really viability scan because I was spotting), NT, anatomy
DS2 I had 8. I was seeing an RE for IF and RPL so had a bunch in the beginning. Then NT, anatomy (and a repeat anatomy at 22 weeks) and finally a growth scan at 36 weeks.

Uhh, I counted the last time this thread came up. I had 25 ultrasounds between RE's office, Ivf risks, twin pregnancy, shortened cervix at 18 weeks, SCH and PPROMing at 28 weeks and being put on hospital bed rest for 6 weeks.
Yeah, a lot.

10. 3 in the first trimester to confirm continued viability, NT, gender, anatomy, 3d with grandparents, car accident, heart arrythmia investigation, growth/positioning.

At least 6 or 7 with DD... I had a stubborn low lying placenta that they kept checking on, then I went 12 days overdue, so I had 2 due to that...
Hopefully just the 2 with this one. One at 8w, one at 20w.

3 with DD. Dating, NT, Anatomy.
4 (so far) with DS. Same as above, plus one to check growth and cervix length after an early labor scare. Hopefully that's it, but we'll see the ultrasound people keep recommending more because of my pre-preg weight. Smh.

DS - 6 (dating, NT, anatomy, position, plus 2 more at the MFM at 35 and 36 weeks)
DD - TONS due to DS being an IUGR baby and having low fluid levels. I had the normal dating, NT, and anatomy already. Starting at 26 weeks, I went to see to my OB and MFM doctor every week and will continue to until I give birth.

I had one every time I went. Then after I got GD, I had even more! Basically I have so many ultrasound pictures to fill up an album!
