4D u/s questions

in Pregnant after IF

Are the 4D u/s always offered during a pregnancy, or is this something that I need to ask to have scheduled? Also, do most insurance policies cover it or is it seen as a special expense?

I'm 20 wks and I've already had my a/s. What typical u/s should I expect and at about how many wks would I have them? When is the best time time to get a 4D u/s?

Thank you!

We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.

    Unless it's something that your OB offers, I think it's usually not covered as they are not diagnostic (and you have to go to a special 3/4D place to get them).  I think they say mid-late 20's is the best time to go.  I had a quick gender scan @ 16 (@ a 3D place) and they were really small still.

    At my OB practice, unless there's an issue, the a/s is the last u/s you get.  We're getting growth scans now, but that's only b/c the practice requires them for moms over 35....You can check with your practice, but I think its likely that you'll have to go to a private place and pay OOP.

     Hard to believe that they do so few u/s when we had so many to get pregnant!

    My OB's office does them, but they are elective and not covered by insurance. My paperwork says we can schedule it between weeks 28-32 if we want one.

    We've been spoiled and had one at pretty much each OB appt. If you go somewhere, I'd recommend going in your late 20s-early 30s. I feel like after that they get so squished you can't really see much.

    I agree with what everyone else is saying, we used https://www.storkvision.com/ and it was OOP but very reasonable.

    This for me also.  And most OB practices don't do any more u/s after the a/s unless something is wrong or they need to check something.

    My ob is doing mine at 30 wks, but he is u/s happy compared to most OBs because his twins were born with cleft palates and no one caught it, so he gives them to everyone. But it is my understanding that is uncommon.
