I have my second one tomorrow. I have diabetes, so they will be keeping a close eye on the size of the baby. It's just an ultrasound, nothing to worry about...
I have monthly ones due to a abnormal number in my quad screening indicating a chance of placenta problem. They are really fast, it is sort of nice to see the baby too!

Me but mine is not until 37 weeks. My first (8lbs 13ounces) I had a emerg c-section, my second (9lbs 10 ounces) I had a vbac and he had shoulder dystocia (sp). The ultrasound is to see how big this baby is and to see if I might need to be induced earlier.
Doing mine tomorrow morning.. check position and size of baby. It'll be the first time seeing him since 20 weeks so I am excited, even if it will be the back of his head
I had one at 32 weeks because I had been consistently measuring 2 weeks ahead. They said the baby likely weighed about 4lb 11oz at 32 weeks, but the doc said that could be off by a pound so it's not set in stone. Basically the u/s tech and doc agreed that I'm having a big baby, guessing he'll be 8-9lb when he's born. My doc didn't have any concerns about that though and she said she thinks I'll be fine to handle it. They didn't change my due date because measuring big doesn't mean you are farther along than you thought, it just means the baby is big.
