Mine is for extra amneotic fluid and to check the growth of the baby. The dr didn't seem concerned and it's not for another 12 weeks - just wanted to see if anyone else needs one for these reasons.
I asked if the baby seemed small or large and they said no - just a check. I also asked if having a little too much amneotic fluid was a concern and what could I do and they said - one day could be more the next less. Seemed a little odd to me - or ultrasound happy. This is my 2nd, same dr, new ultrasound place.
Re: If you need a follow up ultrasound
I don't have your problem (sorry!) but I do have to go in for an extra growth scan in 4 weeks. I hate it when they tell you to come in for an extra anything but then say everything is fine. I asked if our little boy looked small or something and they said he was actually measuring ahead (I was 20 weeks 4 days at the ultrasound and they measured him at about 21 weeks 1 day) but they want an extra growth scan anyway.
I guess unless you have to pay for it just be happy to see your LO again, that is what I am doing.
I go back in 2 weeks for placenta previa. I'm hoping it moved its way up!
Good luck to you.
This. I also measured a few days behind but I don think that was reason for concern. Just placenta previa. My hubby can't wait!! He wants some nookie.
I go back in 3 more weeks for a "growth ultrasound."
They really just want to look at the spine again - growth was on track at my big u/s.
This!
