3rd tri ultrasound?

Sarah K. B. · March 2011

Might be a dumb question, but is there typically another ultrasound between the Anatomy scan and birth? Is that condusive to your insurance? Just curious if I get to see my little guy again before he's out!

My OB told me the anatomy scan would be the last u/s, unless it was medically necessary of course.

Same here. I think most OBs don't do one unless there's a medical reason for one.

I will have one at 36 weeks to measure baby.

I have one at my next appointment (32 weeks) to check positioning and measure baby.

Most pregnancies do not get another ultrasound. However, if as your appointments go on and when they measure your tummy, if it is measuring more than a week smaller or larger they usually order an ultrasound for growth near your due date just to make sure that baby isn't too big or too little.

I am having one next week at 30 weeks but that is only because I have only gained 4 pounds. Even though I am measuring fine and the doctor is fine with everything - she wants to prove to everyone else that everything is okay. I am being seen by a bariatric specialist.

My OB's standard of practice is to send you to another ultrasound your 27th week and then again I believe at around 34 weeks.

My OB does one at 37 weeks to measure. Insurance covers it generally, he deems it medically necessary to try to avoid delivering an 11 lb baby

No additional u/s for me unless I'm measuring too big/small or there's another medical reason to have one.

KrysmarieG10 · March 2011

I'm having one at 32 weeks to check on growth. I think this is normal at my OB.

My ob doesn't usually do one. I am getting on at 30 weeks to check to see if marginal previa has resolved.

I have one tomorrow to check the placement of my placenta. I do not think I would be getting another one otherwise.

I had one with DS #1 as they couldn't tell if the baby was breech or not from the internal and feeling around. That was nearly 3 years ago, the standard now is to have one around 35 weeks for every to confirm size and position.

Thanks everyone! I'll be sure to ask my OB next week at my 28 week appt.
