How many ultrasounds do you get?

[KaliMarie90]

I'm having my first ultrasound at 6.5 weeks so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas if the next one won't be until the 20 week?

[kate924]

I get mine at 8wk and 1 more at 20wk

I only get two one at 6 weeks and one at 20 weeks.

I had one at 6 weeks, one around 12 w to test for downs and then not again until 19w for gender.  I am high risk so i have a fetal echo at 22w and they will pick up around 34w, but for normal healthy pregnancies, I think it's maybe 3 or 4.

We're I live u get 3 unless otherwise nessasary. They give you one to confirm pregnancy an then 20 weeks then again at 36 weeks.

I live in Dubai and here we get 1 every month! Yay! And by the end it's once every 2 weeks. In my first pregnancy I got over 10 so I stopped counting. This pregnancy I got 4 so far And im at 15 weeks :)

That's awesome

Like some of the moms said it depends but primarily you get 2 maybe 3 unless you have problems. I've had about 6 or 7 with my fist child and for this one I had 7. Would have had like 2 more but I switched doctors due to moving

I believe it varies depending on where you are and your doctors office. So far with this pregnancy I' had one @6 weeks, 10 weeks and another at 12, 17, and now 32 weeks.  I moved during this pregnancy so each new doctor ordered different ultrasounds to date pregnancy. Plus the one doctor wasn't very good at finding the heartbeat so I had to get one at 10 and 12 because he couldn't find it. Turns out baby was completely fine !
With my first I had a total of 5 including the 3D which we had to pay for

I think it depends on where you are but I've heard normally it's 3 your first one to confirm your pregnant then your anatomy scan then the last one at 36 weeks to see of the baby has turned or is breech. That's how it is for us in Louisiana.

I had 5 last time because we had had kidney issues

You should have another between 11 and 14 weeks then 20 and that might be your last depending on your pregnancy, Dr and medical coverage. With my first, I had ultrasound every week from 22 til delivery because I had late prenatal care but with this one, they told me I'd get 2 my whole pregnancy unless otherwise necessary. Kind of hard when you want to know what's going on with your baby!

You should have one around 12-13w to measure the nuchal fold.
