If I deliver at 36 weeks, I will have had 13 u/s. </p> <p>It's fun to see how much the babies change every two weeks throughout the pregnancy, but of course, I wish there was no reason to need to have them!</p> <p>Thank God for amazing insurance! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1/page/2#post-358967 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:13:15 +0000 photojane 358967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: a lot of practices actually require the anatomy scan, as it shows any complications that could arise for your later pregnancy or delivery. even if it's not required, i'd definitely recommend it. we found out about some complications at our a/s that can result in some scary stuff -- now we know what to watch for, and can be checked regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358962 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:10:06 +0000 cram88 358962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6...<br /> 1. 11 weeks Dating-they thought I might have been further along than we thought but I wasn't.<br /> 2. 11.5 weeks NT scan with perinatoligist<br /> 3. 14 weeks- Went in for spotting<br /> 4. 14 weeks- Ultrasound with better equipment because they couldn't find the placenta on #3<br /> 5. 18 weeks- Anatomy scan with perinatoligist<br /> 6. 21 weeks I had a fetal echocardiogram because my brother had heart problems </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358937 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:44:22 +0000 Tidybee 358937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 - 6 weeks at RE to confirm a heartbeat (transvaginal)<br /> #2 - 8 weeks at Ob/Gyn to confirm pregnancy (transvaginal)<br /> #3 - 10 weeks at Ob/Gyn for dating (transvaginal)<br /> #4 - 12 weeks NT scan (transvaginal)<br /> #5 - 20 weeks anatomy scan - stayed Team Green!<br /> #6 - 36 weeks at Ob/gyn a very quick and undetailed one just to check size and position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358933 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:40:05 +0000 Penny Lane 358933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @Coco Bee: I only had the anatomy scan. I would have had an 8 week one too if I'd found a midwife early enough, but I don't have one until I was 20 weeks. That's all they do in NZ, unless you pay for another one yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358858 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:51:33 +0000 chopsuey 358858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358856 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:50:39 +0000 sslm 358856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll have 2 if all goes well.

They don't do them. I actually had to go somewhere else to get my anatomy scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358372 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:51:55 +0000 JoJoGirl 358372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Ah good to know. :) We haven't gotten ahead of ourselves with anything past the NT scan yet. And I am dying to find out but DH is all for team green and I can't bring myself to take that away from him. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358370 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:51:42 +0000 LivsMama 358370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-dating ultrasound at 6 weeks (transvaginal)<br /> -follow-up at 10 weeks (transvaginal)<br /> -nuchal test at 13 weeks (transvaginal)<br /> -follow-up at 16 weeks (transvaginal)<br /> -anatomy scan #1 at 20 weeks (transvaginal. She was SO low that the belly one didnt work well.)<br /> -anatomy scan #2 at 22 weeks (they needed more measurements as she wasnt cooperating.)<br /> Every 4 weeks from 22-30 (so 2)<br /> weekly or twice weekly from 30-40, plus 2 ER visits. So at least 12 in that time</p> <p>My total is about 22. I got multiple printouts from each. I made an album out of them lol. I was also high risk, so they were needed for sizing and monitoring </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358367 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:51:07 +0000 Smurfette 358367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Yeah from my understanding they look over everything, heart, brain, kidneys, etc. Good for you holding out to find out the sex. I couldn't do it. Fingers crossed and baby cooperates on Monday, cause the suspense is killing me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358356 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:47:30 +0000 JoJoGirl 358356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Oh, i didn't realize it was important for reasons other than finding out the sex, ha ha. If our OB/midwife recommends it, we'll do it, but if it's just for the sex, I think we are team green. And because I'm going to need so damn many t/v u/s for my cervix, I'm happy to drop one if possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358355 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:47:14 +0000 sunshineandsushi 358355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 so far at 26 weeks. I expect to have about 7 more before I deliver. My ob practice treats all twin pregnancies as high risk, so I had monthly u/s up til 20 weeks, now I'm on biweekly u/s, and by 30 weeks I'll have weekly ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358351 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:45:36 +0000 LemonLong 358351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-1 dating ultrasound at 8 weeks<br /> -1 ultrasound to check on a cyst/placenta previa at 16 weeks<br /> -1 ultrasound for anatomy scan at 20 weeks<br /> -1 ultrasound to check on placenta previa after bleeding at 27 weeks<br /> -2 3-d ultrasounds (baby wasn't cooperating the first time) at 32 and 33 weeks<br /> - 1 measurement scan at week 34<br /> -4 more Biophysical Profile ultrasounds from weeks 34-38 because at my 3-D ultrasound the tech saw I had a grade 3 placenta and my baby and fundal height are measuring small.</p> <p>So I think I'm up to 11 right now. I will continue to get the BPPs done at least weekly until I go into labor, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358343 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:42:39 +0000 Smurfette 358343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Why aren't you having an anatomy scan? You can still have it without finding out the sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358308 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:31:49 +0000 dagret 358308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>let's see... TV = transvaginal<br /> At the RE:<br /> -2 pre-iui scans (TV)<br /> -1 5 week scan (TV)<br /> -1 9 week scan (TV)<br /> At the OB/GYN:<br /> -1 12 weeks scan (NT, my first regular go at it)<br /> -1 20 week scan (anatomy, regular)<br /> -1 20 week (cervix, TV)<br /> -1 26.5 week scan (regular)<br /> -1 26.5 week scan (cervix, TV)<br /> So i'm up to 9 ultrasounds at 26.5weeks - 6 transvaginal and 3 regular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358275 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:21:39 +0000 JoJoGirl 358275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a dating scan at 7.5 weeks and will have an NT scan at 12. No anatomy scan. But I have a potential for incompetent cervix so will need them weekly relatively early, not sure exactly when. Not crazy about that but better than pre-term labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358271 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:21:20 +0000 KT326 358271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot. I'm not even sure how many. I know I had one at 6 and 8 weeks with the RE, then at 9, 12, 14 and 16 weeks with the OB. My A/S at 20 weeks and I had 2 or 3 after that just to look at his size towards the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358262 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:19:33 +0000 Adira 358262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 so far: 7weeks for viability scan, 13 weeks for NT scan, 19 weeks for anatomy scan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358249 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:17:30 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 358249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: no way......that is nuts!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358248 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:17:27 +0000 stargal 358248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 15-16. ya i had a complicated pregnancy. alot i know but every ultrasound was def needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358243 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:15:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 358243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Viability at 8 weeks, NT at 12, anatomy at 21, and one last quick peek to check his head position when I was being admitted at the hospital in labor (I was nearly screaming in pain from having to be flat on my back for it...back labor and no epidural yet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-us-did-you-have-1#post-358240 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:14:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 358240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 or 12?
