How many ultrasounds in total did you ladies have? I've only had one and it was at 20 weeks for the Gender reveal, didn't start my prenatal visits til 16 weeks. Do I get one left or No? :\ #Ftm

By the end of my pregnancy, I will have had at least 13. But this is mostly because my daughter only has one artery in her umbilical cord instead of two, so I get weekly growth scans.

I have had one at 8 weeks 4 days,  12 weeks and 20 weeks. And I had a 3d ultrasound at 28 weeks.  I'm not to sure if I'll get anymore.. I'm hoping for one more for sure.

@ivonnelinda same thing happened to me I found out I was pregnant at around 8weeks because im so irregular and since my doc is very busy is always booked didn't start my prenatal care until I was able to get an appointment with her until I was almost 12 weeks and I've only had one ultrasound at 20 weeks to reveal gender and take the measurements I guess it was because I didn't have no sign of being high risk pregnancy and at that ultrasound they changed my due date Because they said I was about a week and a few days further along I understand how frustrating it can get im a ftm and was hoping I'd get other ultrasounds just to get to see how my baby is developing and growing

Thanks for the Feedback ladies! @Colten_Violet2014 that is what my Dr. Said that when its a  complicated pregnancy you get more but I'm at about 33 weeks 5 days and I asked her last week at 32 weeks if I get one last ultrasound or if she could check if the baby is in position yet and she said noo, gets me frustrated bcus I find my Dr. Useless and can't change clinics yet due to it taking 2 months to change my insurance policy

I'm having issues with my pregnancy so I've had about ten. Usually they'll do one at the beginning to confirm the pregnancy then one at twenty weeks for growth and gender and one at about thirty five for growth and seeing what position baby is in

I've had one to see how far along, then one at 12, then one at 16 because the baby refuses to let people listen with the heart doplar. Then I get another at 20.

I had one at 10+1weeks to confirm little munchin was in there, anatomy at 19+6 weeks, I'll be getting my last one next month on the 8th so see how big she is and if she's head down and such and I'll be 32+6 weeks then :) I've had one other one (it was quick just to check her heart in the er because I had an ear infection and the nurse couldn't find her heart beat with the doppler.

I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks, 11 weeks, and I'm going to have one at 20 weeks. No complications. They just have these old ultrasound machines in most of the examination rooms, so did an extra one for fun.

I'm only 9 weeks along and I've already had three ultrasounds. I had a miscarriage right before this pregnancy so that might be why. My next appointment will be another ultrasound as well to check for any birth defects.

I've had 2. My doctor said they would only schedule a later (third trimester) ultrasound if something was cause for concern or out of the ordinary. But, my little sister had 3 total with both of her boys. I think it may depend on the doctor, the insurance, and the pregnancy. :)

I had one at 12 weeks but thats because we needed to confirm how far along I was. Then one at 18 weeks for anatomy and gender. Then I had one at 34 weeks because they thought the baby was larger than she shouldve been. So the only one that was for regular reasons was the anatomy. The others I had due to issues
