It's completely fine at home but my doc just wants me too have documentation in casei have to be seen by someone else. So I'm going to end up with quitea few total </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2216205 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 10:52:27 +0000 lilteacherbee 2216205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both with LO1 and LO2, I had ultrasounds at 6/7 weeks, 12 weeks, 17 weeks, and then every 4-5 weeks until 35ish weeks. So around 7? With my first LO, I had monthly growth ultrasounds at MFM because of GD. This time, I get them because I have an antibody issue that could cause problems (but hasn't so far!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2216197 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 10:44:13 +0000 Charm54 2216197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 ... Dating at 9 weeks, anatomy at 20 weeks, and I am having one more tomorrow at 26weeks to get a few shots that they couldn't get at my anatomy scan. As long as the rest of my pregnancy is fine I shouldn't have any more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2216195 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 10:42:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2216195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@paigeface: my OB doesn't like to give too many because of insurance companies.

I have a 4th scheduled for 16w4d to check on a possible SCH (we're also hoping they can determine the sex then) and my anatomy scan is at 20wks. So 5 scheduled so far. I'm not sure if they'll do any after that. </p> <p>I had 3 last time, plus a last minute scan in triage to check position when I was in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2216114 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 09:29:50 +0000 mrsjyw 2216114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@paigeface: this pregnancy I had the dating scan around 7w, one fluke/quick scan at 11w, NT scan at 12 w, and anatomy at 19w!</p> <p>It's just standard procedure at my OB's office for "average/low risk" pregnancies to only do the dating and anatomy scan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2216112 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 09:27:55 +0000 paigeface 2216112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump!<br /> This will be my 5th ultrasound.<br /> My doc always seems nervous about giving too many but reading a few of you got more makes me feel better.<br /> Do your docs not like giving too many of them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2159573 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:46:50 +0000 BSB 2159573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Updating my response:<br /> 1) 5w4d at RE<br /> 2) 6w4d at RE<br /> 3) 7w3d at RE<br /> 4) 8w6d at OB<br /> 5) 9w6d at RE<br /> 6) 12w4d at MFM<br /> 7) 14w4d at OB<br /> 8) 14w5d at OB (for spotting)</p> <p>Next scheduled is<br /> 16w5d at OB<br /> 20w4w at OB </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2159552 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:34:38 +0000 Alba4 2159552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first pregnancy, I had three ultrasounds: at 8, 12, and 20 weeks.

I should graduate today and head to my OB a week from Monday where another will be done. </p> <p>Since this is a new OB, not sure how many they'll do. This is my 6th pregnancy with 1 LO, so that will definitely play a factor I'm sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2088273 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:27:49 +0000 NovBaby1112 2088273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: that's awesome! </p> <p>I am not sure how many....Just had 1 at 8 weeks and then I am guessing one at 12 weeks and then the anatomy scan, so 3 total? We'll see though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2088226 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:08:56 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2088226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Given my history, every appointment. 5 so far. And I think it may be SOP at my OBs office. No complaints here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087772 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 21:34:59 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2087772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one at 6 weeks and will have one at 9, 12, and 20 weeks. I'm also planning on scheduling an elective one at 17 weeks. I'll probably have a couple in the third trimester because I'm having twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087766 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 21:30:31 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2087766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB does a super quick (like 30–60 seconds) ultrasounds at every single appointment. So in addition to my big anatomy scan, I've had five ultrasounds at appointment so far plus one extra after I was having some concerning symptoms. And I'm only 24 weeks now so I'll have plenty more before LO's here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087234 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:49:05 +0000 Torchwood 2087234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a dating, skipped the nt because we did the genetic screening, and will have the anatomy in a couple weeks. Technically that's all my midwives normally do. However, with our history I'll be requesting one every 6-8 weeks after that anatomy scan. Also, I had GD last time, so there's a good chance I'll have it again, and that apparently frequently means more ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087199 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:35:26 +0000 Ginabean3 2087199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm high risk and have gotten 4 already (I'm 19 weeks tomorrow). I basically get one every other week (starting at week 16). It's kind of nice and reassuring to see Baby so often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087096 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:03:34 +0000 Mrs. J 2087096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a dating scan and will have anatomy scan. With DS, I had only the anatomy scan until I was overdue and had them like 2x a week to check fluid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087095 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:03:30 +0000 buttermilk 2087095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess just the standard dating &amp; 20week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087090 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:02:30 +0000 simplyfelicity 2087090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had three so far (8w, 15w, 20w) and have another scheduled for 28w.

I'll have another at 30 to check on the placenta previa and then take it from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087085 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:01:21 +0000 littlejoy 2087085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 weeks, 14 weeks, and 21 weeks. Next time, we will skip the 14 week one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087050 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:53:50 +0000 MoreCoffee 2087050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my practice the standard is one at 20 weeks, unless you opt for an n/t scan. With my first pregnancy I was at an OB and had scans every 3-4 weeks starting at 5 weeks. With this pregnancy it feels weird to have my first appt scheduled knowing there won't be a dating ultrasound! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087026 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:50:27 +0000 Alivoo01 2087026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) Dating<br /> 2) NT<br /> 3) Anatomy<br /> 4) sometime around 32-35 weeks i think to see what position the baby is in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087011 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:47:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2087011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 6! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087003 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:45:46 +0000 BSB 2087003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at an RE so had one at 5w4d and 6w4d and will have one at 7w4d. Not sure if my RE will continue seeing me every week or not. I will graduate from my RE at 12-14 weeks. </p> <p>I have been allowed to schedule appts with my OB and I will see them for the first time with an u/s at 8w7d.... so in 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-ultrasounds-will-you-have#post-2087000 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:45:13 +0000 hilsy85 2087000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One every appt, it is standard for my ob! Always nice to get a quick look :) </p>
