  I don't believe this is normal practice for most OB offices. As for being safe, I am not really sure....

  I had around 10 with DD, but they were medically necessary.

  I don't know why. I assume your doctor is recommending this? Studies show no increased risk to the baby.

  My dr does one at every appointment and I'm not high risk. I'm not sure what there reasoning is for doing them but my insurance covers it and i haven't found anything to show they are harmful.

  Have you asked your Dr if they are concerned? Usually sono's everytime means high risk or they are monitoring you for some reason. I'd check with your Dr. I don't believe its harmful though.

  My OB does one at every appointment. He carries this portable sono machine which I've never seen before but we get to see baby each time we go.

  My doctor also does one every time, and I am also not high risk.  As a PP said, studies have not shown there to be any risk in having sonograms.

   I like having them and getting to see the baby  

  After 1.5 years TTC, IUI #2= BFP 12/2/12

  I get one every appointment it's part of my monthly check up I'm not high risk it's just something the doctor offers every time never worried about it being harmful I figured if it was he wouldn't do it so much and I never complain I like seeing my baby once a month

  Ask your dr...

  There is no conclusive evidence that it harms the baby. Lucas had over 40 u/s due to me being high risk.
