question re: u/s after week 20.

in 3rd Trimester
I want to see my baby one more time before he's born.  Is it routine for docs to do one more u/s before the birth?

    It depends on your Dr...my doctor always does one more growth u/s around week 36.  Most people I know don't get that though...

    It depends on your doctor - but I think the answer is "no" for most of them.  I don't get one.  You could always pay to do one of the 3d ones.

    I had one at 28 weeks to check on my placenta (to make sure it wasn't too low - it wasn't).  Then another at 29 weeks because the baby decided not to move all day, but I hope you don't have that happen - it sucked and was totally not worth the u/s, although she turned out to be fine.

    So, not really routine, but not unusual either... just depends on what you have going on.

    I don't think so.  I had my 30 week appointment today and because I am having major difficulites gaining weight she scheduled an u/s to check and make sure everything is ok.  But, if it wasn't for my weight issue I wouldt' be having another one.

    I won't be getting another one unless there is something wrong.

    I think only if there is something wrong or for the doctor to be concerned about. I get 1 at 20 weeks and that's it.

    They may do one to check and see the position of the baby if they can't tell from external exam.  That is what my doc did with DD.

    My doctor said he'd only do another one if there was cause for concern.

    My doctor is doing one last one in the 3rd trimester, I think around 30 weeks. But that's it.
