Hellobee Boards

I got one at 8 weeks (dating ultrasound), getting one tomorrow at 13 weeks (first trimester screening), and the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. I don't expect to get anymore, unless there are any issues/complications. So, three.

I had 4 but should have only had 2. First was around 10 weeks for a dating ultrasound. Then one at 18 weeks for anatomy scan and gender, but our LO was always stubborn for the machine so they didn't get everything they needed so I had to go back at 20 weeks. Then had one at 41w3d to check fluid levels and see if induction could wait until 42 weeks or not.

I've already had four! But that's really unusual. I had one at 8 weeks for dating and vitality, one at 10 weeks because of cramping, one at 11 weeks because of spotting, and then my NT scan at 12 weeks! Hopefully I shouldn't have to have another until the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. I also found out that I have a low lying placenta. My doctor is hopeful it will resolve itself by 20 weeks but if not, they'll do a follow up ultra sound at 28 weeks to see what it looks like.

I had three. First at 6 weeks (dating), 12 weeks (NT scan), and 20 weeks (gender).

I had 4 with LO.
Will have at least 3 this time around'

I have had 3, but normally my office only does 1 unless they suspect issues. My first one was because they thought I might be further along than they orginially guessed, so they wanted to know for sure. (9 weeks) I was in a car accident at 18 weeks so the hosptial did one to make sure baby was okay. And then I had my A/S at 20 weeks. I don't suspect I'll be getting another one unless something comes up.

Lemme see . . .6 so far: (1) at 8 weeks to confirm heartbeat; (2) at 12 weeks for the NT scan; (3) at 16 weeks--but this was an elective u/s-- to determine sex; (4) at 16.5 weeks for an amnio (I planned the elective scan before I was scheduled for an amnio, so I just kept the elective appointment - more pictures!); (5) at 20 weeks for anatomy scan; and (6) at 22 weeks during pre-term contractions.

After my 20 week anatomy scan, my OB told me that they would not plan any additional u/s. I plan to do another elective u/s between 26- 30 weeks (I am 25 weeks this week).

I got one at 10 weeks (it was a dating one), then my anatomy scan at 22 weeks, and then an unplanned one at 34 weeks just to confirm her being breech.

4 - one transvaginally, one to check all the organs (at 18 weeks), one 3d/4d at 26 weeks for fun (we paid for it) and one at 32 (or something like that) weeks because I wasn't measuring properly.

So far we've had 4--a transvaginal one at 8 weeks, one at 12 weeks because the doc had a hard time finding the heart beat (everything was ok), NT scan at 13 weeks, and anatomy scan at 20 weeks. We're doing an elective 4D scan at 28 weeks, and the doc asked us to go for an u/s to check the kidneys at 32 weeks (they were measuring on the higher side of normal). Unless something else comes up, we'll have 6 total including the elective 4D.

We've had 3--the first at 8 weeks for dating/viability (had I not had a previous miscarriage I don't think I would have gotten this one), the NT scan at 12 weeks, and the anatomy at 20. I don't anticipate another one unless there's a suspected problem.

Oh gosh let’s see… I had one at 5w3d due to prior MCs, one at 7w3d for heartbeat, one at 10 weeks just because my doctor doesn’t underestimate my nerves, NT scan at 12 weeks, U/S at regular OB appt at 14 weeks, U/S at regular OB appt last week at 18 weeks and I have my actual anatomy scan with the perinatologist today. So this will be #7. I definitely wouldn’t have had a few of them if I hadn’t had MC issues in the past but I do think that my OB is pretty liberal about them. He has a machine in office and doesn’t mind just “taking a peek.”

My Dr. has one in office so she does an ultrasound at every visit to confirm position and heartbeat but here are the major ones we had: 8 weeks (dating), 12 weeks (NT Scan), 17 weeks (anatomy scan), 28 weeks (3rd tri scan), 36 weeks (growth scan). It really depends on your Dr and your insurance as most insurance will only cover 2-3 ultrasounds a pregnancy (dating ultrasound, anatomy scan, 3rd trimester scan).

I had 12!!!!!
I went to a high risk perinatologist so I got ultrasounds almost every appointment.

I had a subchorionic hemorrhage so I got a few extras, and I also had a couple of unexplained spotting episodes that landed me in the ER...I'm 11w4d and I've had 7 ultrasounds already, but I think if I hadn't had any issues, my OB's office would have only done 1 by now.

This Friday is my NT scan and that will be my 8th at 12weeks. Yeah, that's ridiculous. I know:)

Only three unless something comes up - and that's more than they usually give. I had one at 6 weeks for dating as I have long, irregular cycles, then we opted for the 12 week NT scan (completely optional - would not have been offered a scan if we chose not to do the testing), and then the 20 weeks anomaly scan.

I'm currently 36 weeks and don't anticipate having any more unless something goes wrong.

2. one at 13 weeks and another at 20 weeks.

I had 4.

- 11 weeks (this was the first time I could get in since I had just moved to a new city)
- 13 weeks (moved from an OB/GYN practice to a midwife practice so I got another one :))
- 16 weeks (they thought they saw a hernia in the umbilical cord so this one was to check it...no hernia! They also just treated this one like an anatomy scan since we were in there)
- 20 weeks (regular anatomy scan)

We could have found out the sex at 16 weeks and 20 weeks, but we were Team Green so we looked away.

I have had 3 so far and there are no plans to have anymore. NT scan, anatomy scan, and then one last week to make sure my placenta was no longer in the way. I would have only had two if not for the placenta issue.

I've had a lot this time around! I've gone in to see the OBGYN because of pain and they sent me for an ultrasound every time. Sometimes to check my cervix and sometimes to check for kidney stones. I'll also be sent for a few more very late (around 36 weeks, I think?) to check the baby's growth and determine if/when we should induce or schedule a c-section due to my gestational diabetes.
