If you had elective US how many weeks were you?
-
16 weeks
eta: I also had another elective US at around 30ish weeks.
-
9 weeks
-
I didn't go through with it but I really wanted one around 16 weeks. I hadn't had one since 8 weeks and wasn't going to get one until 20 weeks and it seemed like such a long wait! WIth my first LO I had so many complications that I got ultrasounds a lot. So having the "normal" amount this time around was weird. I'll probably get one more around 37 weeks so 3 total this pregnancy, vs 10 last time.

16 weeks
-
16 weeks to find out the sex.
-
I had electives at 28 weeks for 3D pictures.
-
8 weeks.
-
15w1d

@Mrs D: did you find out gender? was it accurate?
-
@BandDmommy: Yes, she told us LO#2 was a girl and showed me the 3 lines (pretty obvious) - it was confirmed two weeks ago at our anatomy scan (another blatant 3 lines). Now - she hasnt been born yet so I supposed there is still a chance but both techs were very confident!
-
@BandDmommy: Didn't you already find out it is a boy?
-
-
@BandDmommy: I thought you had a blood test?
-
-
Blood tests are really accurate unless something like mosaicism is coming into play.....typically for girls, not boys! Not like you already have Y chromosomes floating around.
-
18w to confirm the sex of the baby
-
16 weeks
-
@blackbird: I understand that. Thanks!
-
16 weeks!
They said 15 weeks would be okay, but preferred 16, so we just waited out one more week just to be sure!
-
So how many ultrasounds are actually required?
I've had one at 8 weeks(confirm pregnancy), 12.5 weeks (NT) and am scheduled for 20 weeks (anatomy scan, but we're not going to find out the sex).
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: not sure how many are required but I think around 2 is common unless specifically needed.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Technically none are required. My doc did 8 weeks, 20 weeks, and I'll have one more around 37/38. We didn't do an NT scan this time because we did the genetic blood test and given that I'm not AMA my doc didn't see a need for both. Some people only get the 20 week scan.
-
Had an elective dating u/s around 8 weeks.
-
17 weeks
-
@Truth Bombs: I'm not AMA either, but my doctor didn't even give me the option to do a blood test.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: here the standard is 8-10 weeks for dating; 11-13 if you choose first trimester screening; 18-22 for anatomy scan and thats it.
I had one late one last time but it was the result of a trip to the hospital for an NST.
-
16w for gender determination.
-
17w for gender with my first
-
I want to say I was 34 or 35 weeks. I only got one U/S at 20 weeks with my practice and I wanted to make sure she had not grown a penis!
-
The NT scan is elective here.
I got regular u/s at 6w to confirm an inuterine pregnancy. One at 8w to establish an EDD. One at 16w to make sure pregnancy is progressing, anatomy scan at 20w and two at around 30w & 36w to check on growth and position.
