I had 2 because my cycles were off so my doctor wanted to do a dating ultrasound at 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041481 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 23:35:18 +0000 Mama Bird 2041481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS, five (two dating scans because my first was too early, NT scan, anatomy scan, and growth ultrasound). This time I had two dating scans again because my dates were off a little, plus an extra because of spotting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041447 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 23:01:57 +0000 travellingbee 2041447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks because of spotting, 12 Nuchal, 16 week elective for gender, 20 week anatomy. Also at around 30 weeks they did a super quick check ( a minute or less) to make sure my fluid looked ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041446 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 22:58:20 +0000 youboots 2041446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far 3 at 34 weeks, we did not do an NT scan. 8 weeks to confirm, anatomy scan at 20, one at 34w because of GD. I expect to have one more at 38 if baby does not come before that. She's measuring big, six lbs and 2 weeks ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041407 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 22:36:57 +0000 marionberry 2041407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With ds1: Had an iui so we had 2 during the process, then one at 6 weeks and one at 10 weeks with the RE; at 17 weeks we had an elective gender ultrasound, then a 20 week anatomy scan and an ultrasound at 38 weeks while we tried to turn him from breech.</p> <p>With the twins this time: 6 week scan (nothing seen), 8 week scan confirming twins, NT scan, anatomy scan, growth scan at 28 weeks and I think I will have at least 1-2 more growth scans before they get here.</p> <p>Had I not had to use an RE, had a breech baby, or had twins, the typical number of ultrasounds at my practice is 3 at most: dating scan, optional NT scan, and anatomy scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041397 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 22:22:02 +0000 yin 2041397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too many to remember. I had GD with both pregnancies, and my second pregnancy was monitored more heavily. I fell asleep a few times during my ultrasound appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041373 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 22:05:01 +0000 soyjoy222 2041373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Four...I had two at 8 weeks because I had vanishing twin syndrome (could not tell at first ultrasound if there was two babies or not, so I had to have another), then my NT scan at 13 weeks and anatomy at 20! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041359 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 21:56:34 +0000 PawPrints 2041359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three, and I don't expect any more unless I start measuring off track. Dating scan at 6 weeks, NT at 11 weeks, anatomy scan at 20 weeks. It would normally have just been two- they don't normally do the 6-week dating scan but offered it to me because I'd had a previous miscarriage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041280 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:55:14 +0000 pinkb 2041280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a dozen maybe a few more with DD, due to PTL, ended up with an ultrasound at every NST (at least 2 per week for the last 4 weeks). So far only 4 with DS and I am 35 weeks, kind of going crazy these last few weeks with out all the extra ones like before. I am scheduled for one next week to check his size and that should be it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041257 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:33:42 +0000 birdofafeather 2041257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4: 2 dating U/S, one elective gender scan, one anatomy scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041236 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:18:21 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2041236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2: Dating at 9 weeks and anatomy at 21 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041171 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:52:59 +0000 namaste 2041171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ocean girl: Same, I only had 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041163 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:45:18 +0000 Charm54 2041163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3....

My doc doesn't see a need for any additonal ultrasounds, as there are no complications and baby is already head down. I didn't need a dating since I knew the date of my LMP, and my periods were a regular 29 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041142 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:23:02 +0000 snowjewelz 2041142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one almost every time I went! I know that's not the case for a lot of people! I had GD so I got even more scans when I went to the specialist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2041124 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:01:26 +0000 CakeLady 2041124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6: 6, 8, 12, 20, 21, and 32 weeks.<br /> First two for dating/a little bleeding.

NT scan, anatomy scan, several late term scans when LO was breech, another late-term scan for decreased movement, multiple ultrasounds at the pediatric cardiologist after LO’s heart defect was found. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2040946 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:07:23 +0000 spaniellove 2040946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 15 due to high risk/IUGR/placenta issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2040945 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:07:04 +0000 BabyPenguinXO 2040945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After all said and done 18-20.

Anatomy scan and then a second one because they needed to get a good look at her heart and she had her arms covering it during the first one.</p> <p>LO 2: 1 dating scan and 1 scheduled anatomy scan. Won't be having more unless there's an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy#post-2040935 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 16:02:06 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2040935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far one at 6, 7, 11 &amp; 19wks. Another growth u/s scheduled for 32wks, I think it will be. The early 2 were b/c we were in the care of an RE &amp; I bled heavily at 5w, so they were confirming everything was ok, the one coming up at 32w is to check on a hopefully minor issue found at the last u/s. No idea if I'll have more after that, but am considered a high risk pregnancy b/c of my AMA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy#post-2040932 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 15:59:59 +0000 lemondrop 2040932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 with each pregnancy. 3 with my ob and two 3D/4D electives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-did-you-have-during-your-pregnancy#post-2040927 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 15:59:06 +0000 coopsmama 2040927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, just the anatomy scan.
