I had a lot for my last pregnancy because I had a complete previa. Around 15?

dating scan, 12-week, 20-week, 20-week follow up to get additional pictures (baby wouldn't corporate the first time). I'm 26 weeks now and don't have any additional ones scheduled.

Lots with both. I'm high risk.

3 for my first (4, technically, but the last one was just to check his position when I was in active labor and lasted literally like 15 seconds).

I've lost track with this one. I think I'm having either my 9th or 10th next week. I had some early bleeding, plus some placental issues they want to keep an eye on, so I've gotten once a month since 20 weeks, plus several before.

A lot with both...with my first LO I had a low lying placenta so they monitored it regularly, and then there was a different concern around week 36, so we had one just to check. If there had been no problems, I probably would have only had 3. With LO2, my OB did an ultrasound every time I saw him to measure growth and I also had the regular NT and anatomy scans.

First pregnancy just NT and anatomy. Second pregnancy ending in a loss I had US at 10 and 11w. This pregnancy 2 so far (6w due to bleeding and NT scan) and another coming next week (anatomy). Assuming I'll be done then unless there were any issues.

A trans/vag at 7 weeks, elective for gender at 16, anatomy at 21, and a final one the day before I had him (39 weeks) to determine his estimated size (which resulted in a scheduled c/s).

Too many to count! My OB does a quick ultrasound at every single appointment!

3- NT, anatomy & a follow up at 32 weeks due to a dilated kidney.

I ended up having 5. One at 8 weeks, because I was freaking out due to a previous missed MC. Then an NT scan so we could make sure everything was okay before spilling the beans to DH's entire family on vacation. Then anatomy scan, then a follow-up because DD wouldn't uncurl enough for them to see her heart well at 20 weeks. Then again at around 36 weeks because I was consistently measuring behind. Usually my practice just does two--a dating scan and an anatomy scan.

I saw an RE first and had 2 with her first at 6&8 weeks. Then transferred to my OB and had one at 10 weeks and then the NT scan at 12 and anatomy at 18 which wasn't clear so they had to repeat at 22. I will have one more in 2 weeks at 36 weeks. For a grand total of 7

With DD I had 8 and DS I had 4.
With DD I was part of clinic that did free ultrasounds for people training to be techs. I also had lots of complications.
With DS I had one extra ultrasound because I slipped into a car door (thank you Michigan ice storm) and he wasn't moving much. You typically have 3 here.

I had something like 8+. But that's because he was an IVF baby plus the fact that at the NT scan, there was some concern, so we had two additional ones to check on stuff. Then one more at 37.5 weeks while I was waiting for pre-e blood test results. (All turned out fine.)

3. Initial visit, NT, and at the end to check baby's head position.

3. NT scan, anatomy scan, and one growth u/s third trimester.

Three. Dating scan at 6 weeks, NT scan, anatomy scan.

With my RE, I had them weekly from week 5-8, then graduated to my OB. Had them at the OB about every 2-3 weeks. I did have to see a pediatric heart dr to check something that Ivf babies have a slight increase in getting. (All clear). Oh, since I had twins, I could have seen a MFM (high risk dr) but I stayed at my OB. I did see an MFM after I had some spotting at 14 weeks, it was a SCH. I was in the hospital twice for HG at 8 & 12 weeks but I don't think I had ultrasounds during those visits. (Edited; Oh, I saw a MFM during one of my stays... It was a scheduled appt not related to my HG. So instead of missing it because I was in the hospital, one of the nurses wheeled me down. I'm glad that my hospital and Dr's office was all in the same complex.) Oh, I had a shortened cervix from weeks 18-20 weeks which resolved itself. Then at 28 weeks, my water broke (PPROM) and I was on hospital bedrest until 34 weeks when I was induced. I had weekly ultrasounds.

Wow, I just realized that I had a lot of pregnancy complications. (Forgot about most of it til now.) With HG, SCH, twin pregnancy, shortened cervix, PPROM and standard u/s related to IVF, I had a ton of ultrasounds. At least 20. I need to go back and count.

ETA: I just counted... I had 25 u/s during the pregnancy. Heh, heh... Good thing my twins are healthy.

With DD I had 6 The three normal ones and three 3D ones (one was a bonus because she couldn't find the gender and had to reschedule). With DS, A bunch. The normal ones at first but then I was diagnosed with GD and have had one weekly until birth (in 3 days!!!)

4. Dating at 8 weeks, NT at 12 weeks, anatomy at 18 weeks, and fluid check from early labor at 23 weeks.
