Ultrasounds once a month?

Does anyone else have ultrasounds once a month? My OBGYN told me that it is to check the baby's growth but I am just very surprised that they are once a month from now on.

Mine have always been once a month and I'm a little overweight but I'm not a high risk. My baby is really healthy. She even kicks the crap out of me when I'm screaming at her daddy.

I get them once a month too. I am not high risk but can be potentially. I wouldnt worry about it.
I dont understand why your ob has not explained anything to you though. I would press to find out why. Because not knowing can drive someone crazy
Good lucm

I do. Everything is fine but here in Belgium if is normal to have an ultrasound once a month.  From 30 weeks, we'll have one twice a month.

I am suppose to have one every month due to being high risk having two open heart surgeries plus the one medication I take supposedly causes decrease in fetal growth. The sonos every month are to monitor my son's growth, but haven't had a sono since me & my husband found out what we were having back in October.
