No ultrasounds since 20 weeks?

VAannie · April 2009

Am I the only one whose doctors have not ordered any ultrasounds sincet the "big" u/s? ?Just curious if I'm in the minority!?

junebaby23 · April 2009

mine hasnt either

mommyaug06 · April 2009

Most insurance policies only cover additional unless it is medically necessary.

Ive had extras because of measuring ahead and lack of movement.

b15chik · April 2009

unless the doc thinks you need one, it's very common for you not to have another

No more ultrasounds for me! My last one was at 16w2d.

DSteed-to-be · April 2009

I won't be having anymore (last was at 20 weeks) unless they have some concerns. Sometimes they'll do a growth-u/s to estimate weight around birth if you're measuring off of the "norm" or go overdue. But even then, sometimes they don't do u/s and just do NSTs.

I have not had one either.

Ludenbelle · April 2009

Nope, that's normal for me. We had an elective 3D/4D scan on our own at 31 weeks, but unless there is reason to worry about anything, I should not have anymore.

Me. I haven't had one since 17 weeks. He ordered another one for me yesterday, only because I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead (I kind of asked when he said how big I was measuring). Normally, he wouldn't do a 3rd tri u/s, which I thought was weird.

Jess&Greginlove · April 2009

I wouldn't have had one if our LO wasn't breech. That's the only reason they did the one yesterday.

RichInLove · April 2009

On the handout from my dr., it says that no more ultrasounds will be ordered after 20 weeks if the pregnancy progresses "normally."

I had one at 20 weeks and then at 32 weeks because my ute measured big.

MKE6115 · April 2009

This is normal. I never had on after 20 weeks with DS. This time I may due to having a LGA baby the first time.

renebean319 · April 2009

i only get 2 unless there's complications.

Mrs.Kent · April 2009

I'm having one to check my placenta, since it was low at my big u/s. My OB also does one at 36 weeks to check the size and position of the baby. Honestly though, I think if there are no concerns it's more common to NOT have another one. I like my OB Big Smile

Kaar17 · April 2009

My last u/s was at 18w 6days.

Soon2BMrsN · April 2009

My only planned u/s was the "big" one. I had one at 7w due to some spotting and will not have any more. My insurance only covers one u/s.

blewis2323 · April 2009

same here, havent had one since then.

Ktindall · April 2009

I just had one done on Wednesday b/c the dr. wanted to see how big baby is getting. before that one the last one I had was at 18 weeks

turtlegirl115 · April 2009

The only reason I got one at 37 weeks is because I had decreased fetal movement. Otherwise I wouldn't have. If it makes you feel any better, the U/S wasn't all that exciting b/c she's so smushed in there we could hardly see anything. She had her hand in front of her face too. So basically we saw a foot and a hand and a big head. LOL We did get to find out her weight though (7lbs) so that was cool.

aprilmama410 · April 2009

same here

VAannie · April 2009

Okay, makes sense. ?My ute is measuring spot on and he's been head down since... well... implantation. ?:) ?Thanks, ladies.

Pesky · April 2009

Nope, very normal. Only reason I got one after 20 wks was MIL went with me to one appt and sweet-talked my pushover OB into wheeling in the portable machine to take a look.

IU_baby · April 2009

I had a second one at 24 weeks, but none since then and I doubt if I will have any unless the baby's measurements are off or they suspect he's breech.

zildjian02 · April 2009

no more for me either. we had one at 20w and everything looked great.

miemie20 · April 2009

my Doc told me that the only way he would do anymore U/S (after 20 week) was if there was something worng with baby.

ericalea511 · April 2009

mine says it isnt needed.... i feel it is. i neen more pics

Mrs.Carlybella · April 2009

i am having one next week because of measuring ahead and PIH - which contradict each other because measuring ahead means big baby, and blood pressure concerns are small baby- so we shall see

Jennilynn · April 2009

Mine doesn't either unless there's something to be worried about.

logansmommy71 · April 2009

Mine hasn't. They said they only would if they though something was wrong with the baby. It kinda makes me mad. If I had an ultrasound machine at my house I'd be looking at it all the time lol.

Leanie · April 2009

i will have one at 32 weeks only because I will 35 a month before I deliver.

LGMHRS · April 2009

I asked my doctor about this yesterday and she confirmed that I wouldnt have anymore as long as everything progressed 'normally'

jaclynmscott · April 2009

my dr. does one at 20 wks and one at 36 wks unless anything comes up, that is all he recommends. the only hard part is waiting 4 months to make sure i can wash the laundry..haha i'm still paranoid i'll get "oops..did i say girl??"

mrs.meteowrite · April 2009

Nope. In two more weeks they'll do a quick one, just to check the position of the baby. But nothing between 20 weeks (which was about 18 weeks for us) and 36.
