On the first one she just sent a report up to the OB. My others were done in the MFM clinic, so one of the MFM OBs would come in and look herself after the tech had done the measurements, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803696 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:24:06 +0000 Alivoo01 803696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are performed in the OB's office but by a ultrasound tech. Once, my OB had to do it because we weren't able to locate the baby's heartbeat on the doppler, and she was totally clueless on how to use the machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803686 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:21:08 +0000 singingbee 803686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had an ultrasound at every appointment.

Right in the same office, but never done by my doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803670 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:16:54 +0000 MapleMoose 803670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ultrasound tech did the first ultrasound. The only time I've had a doctor do an ultrasound was when I had a Level II ultrasound to monitor something found during the anatomy scan. But the tech did the ultrasound then the doctor came in and quickly checked things out herself. That was at the city hospital, not the OB/GYN practice I have regular ultrasounds at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803654 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:13:08 +0000 anbanan15 803654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were always done by a tech at one of the labs associated with my health system. My OB/GYN does not have an in house ultrasound machine though. I also had one with DS and all the rest of my u/s for this pregnancy will be done with MFM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803626 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:06:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 803626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always an U/S tech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803624 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:05:59 +0000 2PeasinaPod 803624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB did my first U/S, but every U/S after that was done in my OB's office by the U/S technician. I only had one other that was done in the hospital by my OB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803623 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:05:45 +0000 ShootingStar 803623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one with the ultra sound tech at my RE's office, then I had another ordered by my OB that was done in the Maternal Fetal Medicine department because it was an NT scan. I have no idea if all my ultrasounds will end up being at MFM, or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803611 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:02:48 +0000 autumnlove 803611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB gave me an ultrasound at my first prenatal checkup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803610 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:02:31 +0000 heffalump 803610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's always done by an ultrasound tech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803609 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:02:30 +0000 looch 803609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was always my OB, he had a machine in his office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803608 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:01:57 +0000 Koolbreeze 803608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had ultrasounds at my OB's office my OB always did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803601 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:00:14 +0000 regberadaisy 803601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was ALWAYS a u/s tech; never my OB. On us days it was two appointments. One for u/s then a following checkup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-performed-your-1st-us#post-803588 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:56:21 +0000 Vegmama 803588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my first appointment (including my 1st u/s) next week. I absolutely love my OB/GYN, but I'm realizing she might not be the one performing the u/s. It's in her office, so maybe??? In your experience, who did your 1st u/s (if it was in your doctor's office)? </p>
