I know every doctor is different but for those of you who have GD how many growth ultrasounds did you have and when? Just curious, TIA.

    Mine started at 28 weeks and are suppose to be bi-weekly. (it seems like a lot but I was diagnosed with GD since 8 weeks and I have had a history of pre term labor so they are keeping a close eye on the baby)

    I was diagnosed at 28 weeks, and starting on Thursday, I will have a BPP weekly, with a growth scan every 4 weeks.

    I just get one at 37 weeks, and my OB will recommend a c-section if the baby is over 9 pounds.  My GD is controlled by exercise and diet, though.  I think I might get more ultrasounds if I were on insulin.

    I have a bpp every week and a growth US every 3 weeks.  My next one is at 36 weeks.

    I have mine today! I'm so excited to see him!

    Since I'm only on diet regulation alone, they said that I will get one today and may not get another one unless they feel it to be necessary.

    I get one at every appointment, which turns out to be every 2-3 weeks between both my regular ob and my high-risk ob. ?Although my sugars were very controlled up until the last time, the baby was measuring an entire week ahead of schedule. ?We'll see what happens when I go for my next appointment on Friday.

    I don't get any. They ultrasounds because my placenta previa. Dr. said since I have my sugar levels under control with my diet there is no need for growth scans.

    I have only had one at 33 weeks since my belly is measuring so small. I am only diet controlled so I don't know if I get another one since I am doing so well according to my doc. I do hope I have another just to see how big the baby is, at 33 weeks the baby was 5 pounds 1 ounce.

    I had one at 29 weeks when I was first diagnosed and then had another one this week at 36 weeks to make a determination on when they might induce.  I am controlled by diet and exercise - have really good numbers - but she is still big. Sad  At 36 weeks she was measuring at about 7.5 lbs.

    I have an ultrasound and NST done every week. Every other week they do a longer ultrasound where they take all her measurements.

    I was diagonosed with GD at 6weeks pregnant. I get ultrasounds every 4 week since then, and at 28 weeks it will be biweekly until I deliver.

    I don't get any...Dr. said they don't treat me any different than a normal pregnancy unless my sugar levels are out of control.

    I had one today (at 36 weeks).  It is unlikely that I will have another one.

    The standard at my OB is that at 32 weeks they do bi-weekly ultrasounds (BST's) - they literally take 5-10 minutes and that is It!

    I will get a growth ultrasound again at 34 weeks (this week!)
