I had a lot as well. I had 2 with my RE, graduated to the OB and he did a "dating" scan at 9 weeks (it had only been a week since I left my RE, they wanted their own for some reason). Then I had one at 11, 13, 17, 20 (anatomy scan), 30, 34, 35, and 36. I had high blood pressure towards the end so the Dr would listen to the heart beat and then do a quick ultrasound. Luckily I didn't have to pay for any of them except my copay for the anatomy scan.

I have had too many to count this time - SCH, slow heartbeat, NT, anatomy, and HG so growth scans - I get them all the time.

With Miss A, I had three (dating, anatomy and positioning at 35 weeks) plus the scanning they did for my ECV.
With Squish, I've had four (dating, anatomy and growth at 32 and 35 weeks due to GD) and my OB has done quick scans when I've seen her (so two so far plus another this coming Tuesday). I might end up having one more "official" scan if I end up overdue.

I have had 5 so far and I am 29 weeks. I will start having them every week from here on out to measure my cervix and check for growth. Baby girl is measuring in the 9th percentile. I also see the MFM and get U/S at those appointments too. I have a BPP (biophysical profile) scheduled in two weeks. I admit it makes me happy to get to see her at every appointment.

I had one pretty much every time I went! While I have read that so many ultrasounds might not be good for the baby, I would do it again b/c it was reassuring/nice to see her regularly!

I think I've had 5 so far (at 32 weeks) and will end up with about 6 or 7. This has been fine for me (more reassuring).

We had one at 12 weeks for dating/confirmation and the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. We shouldn't have any others unless there's a complication.

With my first LO I think I ended up with 11. I had a lot of complications along the way so they were all medically necessary and paid for by insurance.
With this pregnancy I'm 18 weeks and I've only had one (dating at 6 weeks). We didn't do the NT Scan this time because we opted for the Harmony test and my OB said they were redudant. I'll have my anatomy scan in about 10 days and my guess would be one more to check growth around 36 weeks.

With LO #1 I had 4, with this one I have had 3. All have been medically necessary, so I wouldn't change it.
