Did you limit your number of ultrasounds?

    I've only had the two that the doctor recommended. I don't know that ultrasounds do any harm, but, I guess I don't know if they don't either. So, I comfortable doing medically necessary ones and uncomfortable doing ones "just for me".

    No. We had a dating and a NT scan, and were told only the 18-week anatomy scan. Then we chose to have an elective (2D) gender scan, and due to growth concerns I had two ultrasounds at 25 & 30 weeks (I think!). And a 3D/4D ultrasound at 36 weeks as part of a study the hospital was conducting.

    Nope. I've had a lot. One at the ER at 5 weeks to confirm I was still pregnant, a dating one at 6 weeks, one at 9 and 10 weeks because of bleeding, NT scan at 13 weeks, one at 16 weeks to check my cervical length, 19 week anatomy scan, 22 weeks to recheck cervical length, and I'll be having one on Friday (29 weeks) to see if my placenta previa has corrected itself.

    I've only had the NT and anatomy scans, so I'm done at 2 unless there's a problem that comes up. I definitely wouldn't worry about having more if needed, but I also wouldn't have elective scans.

    The 10 minutes thing though... Even my NT scan was longer than that, and of course the anatomy scan was waaaay longer!
