When I first found out I was pregnant, I went to a local pregnancy support clinic in my city. When they gave my my ultrasound, I was 8 weeks, they said based on the size of baby I was closer to 7 weeks. How long should I have to wait until the next ultrasound? I have a followup with my obgyn on the 20th (I will be 15w 3d ) and the Dr. said that the week after that they will possibly give me an ultrasound. Does that sound right?
I suppose I am just worried as I am a first time mother. I am due July 11th.
How many ultrasounds have you mothers had this far?
I am 21, and I am a plus-sized woman if that makes any difference.
Thank you for any help ladies!
Re: First time mom and a little confused about ultrasounds?
My OB office uses awesome mini ultrasound machines in place of a doppler at every visit though, so I get lots of peeks at baby during routine appts.
Then came a miscarriage March '11
Then came a baby in the baby carriage May 16, 12

OP as others have said it varies by Dr and pregnancy, but standard care for a healthy pregnancy is only 1-2, on schedule with what you have. I didn't even get an official dating one this time, just a peek on the portable machine, and then I'll have my anatomy scan. My mom works at a hospital so the u/s girls there are sneaking me in while I'm home next week, or else my first real one wouldn't be til 18-20 weeks.
I am being referred to MFM for having an elevated blood pressure so I am getting an ultrasound next week for the first time because of that! Sounds like you're good!

15 weeks.
My last pregnancy, I lost count how many I had. By the end, I was having two per week. I'm high risk, so that's why I've had so many.
