We will have one next week, though, yay! That will be the only ultrasound for this pregnancy, unless there are problems/concerns.</p> <p>For my 1st LO I had 2 ultrasounds (13 weeks and 20 weeks).</p> <p>happy pregnancy!!! you're halfway through!!</p> <p>eta: the reason i didn't have the 13 week one this time round was kinda random -- i was just too tired to go, with a baby to take care of! :) in canada you only get the 2 ultrasounds, unless you want to pay for more, or you need them for medical reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-have-you-had#post-701861 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:12:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 701861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see a midwife practice that errs on the side of less intervention and tests, so if things went perfectly, I'd only have 2-- elective 12 week NT scan, and anatomy scan at 18-20 weeks. The baby wouldn't roll over at the first anatomy scan, so they had me come back a week later to try again, so i've had 3. I don't think there is really any harm in doing more, but I prefer to keep them to a minimum too. </p> <p>Only 24 weeks, so something very well could come up where they need to do more, but as of now, the plan is no more. </p>
