How many u/s did you have?

mb72105

jsut curious, how many u/s did you have durng your pregnancy/or how many are you scheduled to have?  My OB siad we will do one every 4 weeks from 20 wks on and we are doing one at 13 wks for the NT scan and next week I have a 10 wk appt so she said if the hb's are still not detecable on doppler then we will do an internal to check for growth....so that means I will have an u/s at EVERY visit this whole pregnancy...... a little much?

I will love the chance to see my babies every step of the way, but worry it is harmful?

no evidence of harm...

 at this point, i have them twice a week.

They have already scheduled all of mine.  I have 9 u/s scheduled, and have 19 NST scheduled.

I probably had 6 in my first trimester because of concerns with Baby B. Since then I've had one every 4 weeks. I see the MFM for the growth scan every 4 weeks and starting in 2 weeks my OBGYN will also be doing a transvaginal u/s on alternating weeks to check my cervix.

I have one at every visit.  Which is about every 2/3 weeks, plose the MFM about once a month.

I love being able to see my babies so much!  And ultrasounds are not harmful to them.

I have had one at just about every appointment - probably 6 so far, another tomorrow, and then every two weeks. You'll get to see your babies a lot, but I'm so spoiled now that I wouldn't have it any other way.

I probably had about 40 u/s during my whole pregnancy. I had them daily while I was in the hospital to check the fluid on the girls.

So far I've had 5. ?An initial one at 12 weeks for spotting where we found out about the twins, my "big" one at 18 weeks, and then one every 3-4 weeks. I will continue to have them every 3-4 weeks for the remainder.

I feel like I've had a lot, but not as many as some of the girls on here. They don't do them at my reg OB appts, they are all done in a separate office or at MFM.  I had them at

8wks

10wks (due to spotting)

18wks

22wks

26wks

30wks

33wks (scheduled)

but I don't know how often I'll have them after that.

I had tons of u/s. I had complications through out my pregnancy so they checked on them all the time. No harm was done.

I'll have one at every visit, which will be every three weeks for a short time, then every two weeks, then every week. Plus one with a peri around 22 weeks to check for a specific birth defect that my son has.

I had them every two to for weeks!i liked it though because i got to see them and how they were doing so often:)

Today was # 21 and I'll have at least one every week until I deliver.  The weeks I see my peri I have 2.
