Hellobee Boards

I had an NT scan at 12 weeks, an anatomy scan at 20 and then a follow up at 22 for "poor fetal position", and an elective 3D/4D at 28 weeks.
I expect to have another later in the pregnancy to check for fetal size as the ladies in my family have BIG babies.
So 4 now, maybe 5 by the end.

I had 7 total. A dating one at 10 weeks, the anatomy scan at 22 weeks then 3 others with my midwife ti check position because lo was a tricky one to figure out then 2 at the hospital to confirm she was breech.

Viability one at 8 weeks, NT scan at 13 weeks and the anatomy one is Monday, at 20 weeks. That is all that is on my schedule, unless something else comes up.

I had about 10 but I had to get extra U/S because of an early bleeding issue and later on because wonky blood work from my NT scan.

4. Dating, anatomy, one to check that my low-lying placenta had resolved itself, and one more to check size/position/fluid levels.

only one!! my anatomy scan.

I had them at weeks 7, 9, 11, 12, 13.5, and will have one at 19 weeks, plus a fetal-echocardiogram, and we'll see how many more after that

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).

@Coco Bee: no way......that is nuts!!!

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.

let's see... TV = transvaginal
At the RE:
-2 pre-iui scans (TV)
-1 5 week scan (TV)
-1 9 week scan (TV)
At the OB/GYN:
-1 12 weeks scan (NT, my first regular go at it)
-1 20 week scan (anatomy, regular)
-1 20 week (cervix, TV)
-1 26.5 week scan (regular)
-1 26.5 week scan (cervix, TV)
So i'm up to 9 ultrasounds at 26.5weeks - 6 transvaginal and 3 regular.

-1 dating ultrasound at 8 weeks
-1 ultrasound to check on a cyst/placenta previa at 16 weeks
-1 ultrasound for anatomy scan at 20 weeks
-1 ultrasound to check on placenta previa after bleeding at 27 weeks
-2 3-d ultrasounds (baby wasn't cooperating the first time) at 32 and 33 weeks
- 1 measurement scan at week 34
-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.

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,

@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.

-dating ultrasound at 6 weeks (transvaginal)
-follow-up at 10 weeks (transvaginal)
-nuchal test at 13 weeks (transvaginal)
-follow-up at 16 weeks (transvaginal)
-anatomy scan #1 at 20 weeks (transvaginal. She was SO low that the belly one didnt work well.)
-anatomy scan #2 at 22 weeks (they needed more measurements as she wasnt cooperating.)
Every 4 weeks from 22-30 (so 2)
weekly or twice weekly from 30-40, plus 2 ER visits. So at least 12 in that time

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

@Rainbow Sprinkles: I know... it was because I had a midwife. They don't do them. I actually had to go somewhere else to get my anatomy scan.

My dr did a quick one at every visit, which I know is not the norm. We had 4 more detailed ones: nt scan, 2 part anatomy scan, and growth u/s.

So far I've had 8.

TV at 5 weeks -- I had spotting and wanted a u/s for peace of mind and to make sure it wasn't ectopic
TV at 6 weeks -- my regularly scheduled dating appointment, where we saw the heartbeat for the first time
TV at 7 weeks -- because I was still spotting when I had my 6-week
NT scan at 12 weeks
TV at 16 weeks for cervical length
TV at 18 weeks for cervical length, and anatomy scan
TV at 20 weeks for cervical length (not scheduled, I had gone into L&D because I was worried I was leaking amniotic fluid and since I was there they wanted to do another cervical measurement)
TV at 23 weeks -- it was a regularly scheduled appointment, no u/s scheduled but they wanted to do one last cervical measurement just to make sure everything was still OK.

Background, I had LEEP done on precancerous cervical cells in '05 so they wanted to make sure I wasn't having cervical incompetence. Hence all the u/s

3 so far.

#1 - 6 weeks at RE to confirm a heartbeat (transvaginal)
#2 - 8 weeks at Ob/Gyn to confirm pregnancy (transvaginal)
#3 - 10 weeks at Ob/Gyn for dating (transvaginal)
#4 - 12 weeks NT scan (transvaginal)
#5 - 20 weeks anatomy scan - stayed Team Green!
#6 - 36 weeks at Ob/gyn a very quick and undetailed one just to check size and position.
