I've had multiple ultrasounds only because my baby was positioned weird in some and couldn't get everything. I had a ultrasound at 32 weeks and my son was measuring 35 weeks and weighing 5lbs 12oz so they ordered another ultrasound to check his growth it'll be my 8th ultrasound since 8weeks. I'm 37 weeks and I have my ultrasound thus Friday.
My insurance only covers one at 18-20 weeks . Unless there is complications .
With my insurance I only get 3 but I had to get a fourth to see why I was measuring small and I also get another one to see if he's still growing properly
In the UK we only get 2 unless the pregnancy has complications. If we want more we have to pay privately :(
@ mommytobe, thats not true. Also if youre high risk, somethings wrong with you, youve had fluid issues, and it also varies by state/location, you get a 3rd trimester one here generally. And you can also pay privately if you just wanna see your lil one :))
I'm unfortunately high risk I had placenta privia, my 2.5 yr old is perfect, but i get many more ultrasounds than most so i get to see my baby monthly and the weekly eventually once I get to my last 8 weeks because my placenta isnt where its supposed to be it sits almost at the opening of my cervix instead i guess and can cause pre term labor, actually went overdue w my first, but they'd rather be sure than sorry so I have lots of OB appts and USs, it actually gets very stressful :/
I'm getting one at 34 weeks, not sure whether I will get more after that or not :)
It get my last one tomorrow (36w2d) he sd hes doing it to get the weigh of the baby and to see if she's turned, but I think every doctor is different
Here where I am they only do 1 maybe 2 if you do the ips. But other then that you want more and there not nessicary you have to pay to get a 3d 4d one
It all depends on your doctor. I don't know why people say you only get a certain amount. I get one every time I go in that's what they do for everyone. So you have to ask your doctor.
I had ultrasounds done everytime I went to the doctor with my son. I always got pictures too. But no medical problems, the doctor done it bc he said he wanted to know for sure the baby was ok at all times.
I only had one. N thats all i get. (gender)
My first i had two bc i went to e.r afyer getting hit by a war vet at work having a flash back
Only if you have problems I might have to have another one 3rd trimester as I have anterior placenta and baby was breech at 19 weeks and they need to make sure shes still not and that my placenta is still up high cause if its close to my cervix opening I have. to have a c section
I get one next week (38 weeks) but only to see if my sons head down.
You don't get more than two ultrasounds unless something is wrong w/ your baby. Only ultrssounds you get is the first one, & the gender one.
The only ultrasound I has was at 20 weeks to tell me I was having a girl. I'm now 35 weeks.
I don't think you get a third trimester ultrasound I'm 38+2 and I haven't had one I've heard you don't get them unless you're having medical problems
Well I go in for bi-weekly non stress tests due to being hypertensive, having pitting edema, and having regular contractions. The ultrasound I had was part of my hospital's procedure when monitoring me for preeclampsia. It may not be a normal thing :-\
Lucky you! My doc only gives ultrasounds in the first and second trimester. I wanna know how my baby is doing but i wont find out tilk he is born. That *****.:-/
