I don't have medicaid and I've only gotten one. It mostly depends on the Dr but mine only does one unless necessary and I have had a very healthy pregnancy :)

I have had three so far at 23 weeks, first at seven weeks, one at twelve weeks and one at almost 21 weeks. Those are standard for my doctors office. However now I will be getting one every month which is not normal at my office just because I am high risk. My doctors office normally does four

I've only had 2 so far. I wasn't sure if they do another one before you have the baby. It would be cool if they did another one but I guess it doesn't matter at this point because she will be here sooner than I know.

Medicaid is different in every state. In Iowa they allow more than one. But generally I've noticed Iowa medicaid pays for more than most states. I've only had one so far but I'm only 18w, I'll schedule another Tuesday to find out the gender. A friend of mine is further along and on medicaid she has so far had 3

If you aren't paying out of pocket it is usually 2-3 is the most common amount but there are a handfull of doctors that will do one every time for everyone. But if you're high risk or having twins then I believe you get one every time.


And yes its not super common but does happen. Hasn't happened to me but I've seen a couple stories on here of it happening.

I've had 4 and will have another one in 2 weeks at my 36 week check up. :) Oh, and I'm not high risk, I've just paid extra for elective US.

So far, I've had 2 since his manlyhood was developed and it was there both times.
