Then after I got GD, I had even more! Basically I have so many ultrasound pictures to fill up an album! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428924 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:33:58 +0000 Alivoo01 2428924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS - 6 (dating, NT, anatomy, position, plus 2 more at the MFM at 35 and 36 weeks)</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428817 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:46:13 +0000 mrsrain 2428817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 with DD. Dating, NT, Anatomy. </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428708 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 07:30:54 +0000 sslm 2428708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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...</p> <p>Hopefully just the 2 with this one. One at 8w, one at 20w. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428707 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 07:28:48 +0000 DesertDreams88 2428707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10. 3 in the first trimester to confirm continued viability, NT, gender, anatomy, 3d with grandparents, car accident, heart arrythmia investigation, growth/positioning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428657 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 02:50:09 +0000 BSB 2428657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>Yeah, a lot. 😐 My twins were well documented. 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428550 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 23:25:26 +0000 travellingbee 2428550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds1 I had 3 plus a quick in office one to check fluid. Dating (really viability scan because I was spotting), NT, anatomy </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428537 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 23:13:19 +0000 fancyfunction 2428537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 5 last time - dating, NT, anatomy, growth check around 33 wks and one on my due date.</p> <p>This time I've had 4 so far and have another scheduled for 36 wks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428507 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 22:50:12 +0000 auggiefrog 2428507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428504 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 22:48:27 +0000 ldh112 2428504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428494 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 22:39:53 +0000 PawPrints 2428494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428432 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:42:11 +0000 Alba4 2428432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1: 3. It was an easy, routine pregnancy.</p> <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428423 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:37:07 +0000 Mamag511 2428423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428422 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:36:50 +0000 matador84 2428422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least 5-6 with my first child.

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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428304 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 20:21:12 +0000 littlejoy 2428304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 ... dating, 1st tri, and anatomy.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428295 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 20:11:23 +0000 Ms. RV 2428295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Six: Spotting @ 6 weeks (also turned out to be dating scan), anatomy scan, MFM anatomy scan, follow up MFM scan, reduced fetal movement, and position while in labor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428288 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 19:59:57 +0000 simplyfelicity 2428288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4...dating, gender, anatomy scan and another to check on CPCS<br /> Our OB wanted a 5th to check on baby's size at 37 weeks but we opted out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds#post-2428287 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 19:58:41 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2428287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 with my son.
