12wk Ultrasound?

We've seen our OB a few times since we'be been preggo, so I assumed we would have one, but now I'm not sure. Thoughts??

    I am pregnant with mo/di twins. I had the NT scan at 12 weeks and starting at 1

  • Most OB's wont do an u/s at every visit if they are di/di and no complications.

    Id call and ask
