Early u/s to measure growth

holly321 · June 2012

I went for my first appointment yesterday, and I as always forgot to ask questions. I could not remember the day of my last period, so my Ob was guessing by feeling that I am about 6 weeks pregnant, and from my estimations, I was a little over 5 weeks, so I guess that is a good sign.

Anyways, he said he wants me to have an early u/s, due to my missed miscarriage. He said he will call me Monday with the results of my betas, and he will decide then if I should have it in about 2 weeks, or a little later, little sooner.

If you had to have early u/s to measure growth, did you have them every few weeks?

No, I don't think they will do more unless the measurements are way off or something doesn't look right.

I had my first appointment on June 11th and they scheduled an ultrasound on July 2nd. My nurse told me if everything looked good on the 2nd then we wouldn't have another one until I believe 20 weeks.

My first u/s is not for another 2 weeks, but I will be having them weekly through first tri (this is standard for my RE).

This has always been the case for me. When I was pregnant with my second son, I had a SCH, so I was scanned every 2 weeks until it resolved. With my other pregnancies, I didn't have as many scans.

I completely left out a bit of info. I am having this due to my miscarriage. When I had my u/s, baby was measuring fine, a few days later, baby had stopped growing.

My ob told me that I had to have an early u/s this time. Would you think I am correct in assuming I will get one a few weeks later??
