Am I the only one who's Dr. does the u/s?

Kismet21 · July 2009

All of my ultra sounds have been done by our doctor. I guess that is not the norm since most people seem to have a tech do it.

What happens for you??

nv2009 · July 2009

my doctor is the only one who has done mine as well.

ellemoney:) · July 2009

When I was pregnant with Layla, the Dr did all my u/s. ?

This time, he had a tech, but is now moving away. ?I'm not sure about my new Dr yet.. ?

KatiKM · July 2009

I have had 1 with a tech, 2 with Dr. The "Big One" will be with a tech, they have a more detailed/high resolution machine apparently

CloudNine2007 · July 2009

I go to the Perinatal Center in the hospital for the u/s. The tech does the u/s and then the doctor came in at the end and said a few things to us. The doctor who came in after the tech was not 'my' doctor either.

abbzy85 · July 2009

My Dr. in NY did my first two ultrasounds which I thought was great.. but she had two opportunities to find my twins and didn't see them either time. We even asked if there were two in there because we knew that twins run in my family. My Dr. in FL has an U/S tech who is amazing and really patient and takes lots of time to get us the best pictures possible.

nealbl · July 2009

We ahve had like 6 ultrasounds now and the nurse practioner and both doctors rotate who does it. That way we get to know all of them

snsgurl728 · July 2009

I always wondered if we were the only ones who had a separate u/s tech do them!

TTCinOC · July 2009

All mine have been done with Tech's. Maybe it depends what kind of office it is, mine has 4 ob's and 2 techs, I think they do it that way for time issues because they are always swamped.

pillowbling · July 2009

My office has a high-risk OB who is trained specially in u/s do them. After she does the u/s (with a nurse watching for a second opinion), you see your OB. I like that there's always 2 OB's looking at them and a nurse.

vmm0016 · July 2009

I have only had one and the dr did it. I assume for the big u/s he will do it too.

nicolebuchalla · July 2009

My OB does my ultrasounds at every visit, and she does them herself. So any questions or concerns she has get discussed right away.

bannedmonkey · July 2009

My doc did my early ones; 6, 8, 10 weeks. I had to go to a specialist for the NT scan and the Level II scan.

Leap08 · July 2009

I actually go to a Perinatal doctor for u/s (her office is next to my regular office). A tech does the u/s and then the Perinatal doctor comes in and discusses the u/s with us.

Flyswmer · July 2009

So far the tech has done my ultrasounds, I've had 3. When I go at the end there will be a high risk doctor stopping in and checking on things.

Temp785382312506150 · July 2009

I've always had a tech, not my doctor.

darlawoods · July 2009

We have a tech do our u/s... I think the Dr only does it in an emergency or complicated situation. The Dr does go over the ultrasound with us though.

karlybarly · July 2009

My Dr does/ has done all of them except for the 20w U/S

Mee83shell · July 2009

Our doctor did the viability US at the beginning and a tech did the 20w. When we have our next US (closer to the due date) to check the weight and such, that will be done by our doctor in the office.

imaPrincess · July 2009

I go to an imaging center. My doctor only did one when he couldn't find the HB on the doppler, he wheeled in this little lap top looking thing that was actually a min-u/s machine. That is all they have in office and it isn't great so they don't use it much.

magdusia · July 2009

my first 2 were done by my OB and then after that i had to go to an imaging place for the other (on top of seeing my OB each month)

Suzi-G- · July 2009

Mine have been split, the midwife does them in office but for major things like the anatomy scan they have you go down the hall to the ultrasound tech because that machine is better. My RE (in the same practice) did all of his own in office, or occasionally his PA would do them if he was in surgery or something.

chick730 · July 2009

A tech always does mine

JennlovesAustin · July 2009

My doc does all of them except the big 20 week one.

AdamsWife08 · July 2009

I've only had one done and my Dr did it. I won't have another one until 20 weeks, but I'm assuming he'll be the one doing the u/s then as well.

dionnemd10 · July 2009

my dr. does mine! and i love that.

very personal and no need to get comfy with anyone else

lori4740 · July 2009

nv2009:
my doctor is the only one who has done mine as well.

This.

jennaglardon · July 2009

Nope mine have been done by the RDMS (Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer) that works for my doctor.

Wake_Life · July 2009

Well, my OBGYN has 4 doctors and they rotate. I have seen 2 of them but neither was my regualr OB, I will see her next. Basically they are all on call for one week at a time. They have you see all the doctors throughout your pregnancy so you are familiar with all of them b/c you are not guranteed to have your actual doctor deliver. I was really upset at my first appointment when another doctor came in. I almost cried...lol! The only other really good doctor in the area is a guy though and I just don't feel comfortable with that. They are all assistant professors at UF and Shands which is a great program.

LovinTim912 · July 2009

In my regular ob's office, the doctor does them. ?

In my high-risk ob's office, the tech does them, but the nurse is usually watching too.?

skiel1015 · July 2009

My doc has always done mine. The only time I've had a tech do it is when I have had to go in to the emergency room.

megs&hops · July 2009

With DD - the ultrasound was in the OB office - I think it was a tech who did them. With this one I have to go to an actual diagnostic office to have mine done.

Genevieved · July 2009

My doc does mine and I love it. If they want to check something or are worried they take me right over to the U/S they have I don't have to wait to go to a tech.

First apt I had bleeding so they wanted an U/S eveything was fine and 2nd apt they couldn't find the heart beat so they cheated and did an U/S to make sure and everything was great. they also did our 20 week U/S it was nice to have the doc explain everything to us and if they had of notice something wrong they would have been able to talk to us right there.
