Ultrasounds will not harm your baby. I have to get one every 2 weeks BC I'm so high risk and I'm only 9 weeks.

That is only 4 weeks away! I do get where you are coming from though.  If it will make you stress less, your doctor approves and you can afford it, go for it!

Keep in mind that some people think ultrasounds are not great for the baby.  You should do them on the doctor's schedule, not just for your own curiosity.
