CP: Do you have any more ultrasounds scheduled after your anatomy scan?

Not counting any elective 3D/4D ultrasounds.....

I said SS. Because of my GD, my doctor said he'd more than likely send me for a growth ultrasound around 36 weeks to check on baby's size. But if I'm measuring right on track as I have been, we might not do it.

So, I'm a special snowflake.

I had my original anatomy scan at 18w4d. I had a 2nd anatomy scan at 20w6d because they were unable to get all the measurements at the first u/s due to how he was laying.

I had a cervical u/s at 26 weeks b/c of premature labor and they also checked on his growth (basically remeasuring everything from the anatomy scan).

I have another u/s scheduled for Thursday - I will be 31w6d. They are going to recheck my cervical length and growth because I started measuring behind by a few weeks at my last appt.

It's nice to get sneak peeks at my LO but I just wish I could have a "normal" pregnancy. I'm so worried about possible IUGR and preterm labor... I know everything is probably fine but it just seems like one thing after another with this pregnancy.

I had a follow up to my A/S at 22 weeks to check amniotic fluid. At that appointment, the tech half way through switched to the 3d ultrasound "wand" or however that works. She couldn't get a good picture of LO's face...and next thing I knew there was baby in 3d. My last ultrasound was at 30 weeks--a follow-up growth ultrasound b/c LO was measuring in the 20th percentile at week 22. As far as I know, there will be no further ultrasounds.

We'll have a growth US at 36 weeks. I've also had one at every appt., just because the machine was available :-) I Love my OB! I'm guessing that will change as my appts. switch to internal exams.

My doctor alternates appointments. For example 2 weeks ago I had an u/s, so on this appointment I will just have the fetal doppler and my belly measured, but then on the next one I will have another u/s.

lucylea · May 2011

Normally I wouldn't have any more ultrasounds after my anatomy scan. However, with DD I had excess amniotic fluid so if I start measuring ahead with this LO we will get an ultrasound at each appointment from that point on to monitor it. I'd love to see him again, but I'm actually hoping we won't have to deal with all of that. I'm also a repeat c-section so positioning and size don't matter so we won't get a scan for that.

I had to have an unplanned u/s last week 28w5d because my baby is playing hide & seek. The doctor was having a hard time finding a heart beat, and finally found one that was too low (110), so we had an u/s scheduled within a few hours and the u/s tech found that my baby was curled into a ball and was squished into my right hip. It was likely that the doctor was hearing the umbilical cord because he was nowhere near where the baby was with the doppler. It was a bit of a panic for DH and I while we waited, but the heart rate was a strong 143, so that was good to hear! And still team green as the little bum doesn't want to show us the goods

I said SS because even though we did not schedule another U/S my OB had one done in the office at 28 weeks. Not sure if I'll have another or not.

MrsVictoriaB · May 2011

yes my office gives everyone a growth ultrasound at 36 weeks

littleprettyx · May 2011

Yes -- I had the 20w scan, then another at 24 to measure my cervix (bicornate ute), and another at 28 for growth (still not exactly sure why tbh) and I think they want me back again at 34.

boogerbearoriginal · May 2011

I will have a follow up u/s in early June to check on LO's kidneys - they discovered bilateral accessory renal arteries at the a/s so they like to double check that there aren't any complications.

Otherwise the a/s would've been the only ultrasound.

amoramoure · May 2011

Yes. I was diagnosed with GD last week so my OB wants to do a growth ultrasound next week. Otherwise, no.

Heather&Ben · May 2011

Yes, but I am a diabetic so that's why! I get them fairly regularly b/c of this.

ShyVi826 · May 2011

I had my anatomy scan at 20w, and have had growth scans at 27w and 32w. From my 22w appt to my 26w, my belly grew 9cm, so my OB is having me do the growth scans to monitor his size (currently 94th percentile!) and my fluid levels, which were discovered to be pretty high at the 27w scan. I'll have one more growth scan around 36-37w. If I wasn't measuring so large, I would have had just the anatomy scan.

brenwick · May 2011

Yes, but that's because I have GD and have been measuring 2-4 weeks ahead by fundal height, {depending on the position of baby} and baby has been measuring 3.5-4 weeks ahead in US's. So I will be having one or two more growth ultrasounds. I will also be having a biophysical profile {? am I saying that right?} done around 36 weeks.

kjr · May 2011

I had a growth u/s a few weeks ago, and iwith my other pregnancies he did another one around 36 weeks.

CagleBaby · May 2011

I have one this week on thursday and will have one more. This thime around I have had one every 4 weeks since 12 weeks. So I have had a lot.

PoseyMamma · May 2011

I don't have anymore planned. But according to the OB nurse that I saw at my last appointment (Dr. went home sick) she said I was measuring behind and asked about DD#1 if she was measuring behind and I told her yes. So the nurse said for me to not be surprised if I have at least one or two more ultra sounds. I am pretty sure I have an ultra sound if I go over due but like I said with DD#1 I had about 4 ultra sounds within the last 6 weeks of being pregnant so I am not sure if this is routine or not. So to answer the question I don't have anymore scheduled but I will more than likely have at least one more.

I have to schedule one in June to check on the location of my placenta. The 2 previous u/s it was blocking the birth canal, so my next u/s will determine if I need a c-section or not.

momtoRaegan041008 · May 2011

Yes with this pregnancy.

No, I only had my 22 week u/s with my first pregnancy.

bunnybiter · May 2011

I'm a little surprised at how many have multiple scans. I mean, I'm happy things are being checked out, but I was under the impression that the dozen I'm getting before LO is born wasn't normal. I have had six so far, and will be checked every week after 35 weeks. Though it sounds like a ton, I'm happy to say baby is doing well despite his one issue that -may- be easy to deal with, they won't know until he's assessed after birth.

Pooka8 · May 2011

SS because my Dr. mentioned a potential growth ultrasound late in pg... Luckily I haven't had any complications since my morning sickness went away... so possibly, possibly not.
