When was your last u/s

beachgirl1977 · September 2013

Mine was at 20 weeks and I am getting antsy for one. At my old practice they were very routine and done quickly at each visit. I have gd but am diet controlled. I sometimes wonder how they know everything is ok in there without looking. I am measuring 3 weeks ahead as of last visit but no one is really concerned... I will have c/s anyway.

31 weeks, but I have had them monthly to monitor growth. I have another scheduled next Monday, but my OB said today she'd also take a look just to see the position of the baby.

hlb622 · September 2013

I know it's bittersweet, but if you only get the one at 20w, that's a good thing.

We've had five and have a sixth scheduled, due to kidneys problems (UPJ obstruction) detected during the anatomy scan. Not too much longer and you'll have your LOs in "real life."

SnoopyLuv · September 2013

I had one last week, because I asked for it to "check position" I'm sneaky. Anywho, it wasn't very helpful because LO's head was so far in my pelvis I couldn't see her face. I got to see some spine, kidneys and heart.

Chrisanna0508 · September 2013

I had a really quick check at my appointment yesterday to confirm the baby's position, but hadn't had one since 20 weeks before that. It was nice to see him/her and that strong heartbeat. We are team green, but now DH is convinced he saw a "turtle" on the screen and thinks its a boy. *rolls eyes*

mrambo3 · September 2013

20 weeks and won't have another one unless the doctors see a reason to. we had one at 39.5 weeks with DS bc the doctor wanted to make sure the baby was in position. since I'm a VBAC with RCS scheduled for next friday, i don't think they'll do one.

LittleBabyG2013 · September 2013

Mine was at 20 weeks

Spanchez · September 2013

22 weeks - baby wouldn't cooperate at the 20 week appt for measurements so I had to go back. I asked my OB if they would do another one before birth and she said typically my practice does not. She did tell me that if I really wanted one, she would come up with something to get me another one.

tmccord21 · September 2013

I had one at 30w after I got out of L&D for contractions. They were checking my waters. It was uneventful cause he was already in go position and you could only see the back of his head.

MangoMama82 · September 2013

I had one at 25 weeks only because I was admitted to L and D for some issues. That was the last time. I think they said I get one next week at 36 weeks to check the position of baby

jen-and-ryon · September 2013

20 weeks

Pickle123 · September 2013

20 weeks

emmylou78 · September 2013

I had a growth ultrasound 2 weeks ago at 33 weeks. I think I get another at 37 or 38 she said. I have GD. Not sure if that is why

cait8387 · September 2013

20 weeks for me, I would love another one! But don't think I will be getting one

apritchett50 · September 2013

I got one at 35, 36 and will get one today at 37w 3d. They are pretty boring because baby is so squished up you can't see their face very good.... Atleast that's how it is for me.

kimbo1216 · September 2013

It's a sign you are having a healthy pregnancy. I promise you really don't want them uneccessarily. I have to have them every week (started at 32 weeks) due to some blood work being off. Part of me likes the "extra checks" but part of me dreads them. My doctor says they are more precautionary due to the blood work, but I know they are looking for some pretty serious things. So another part of me is just waiting for the ball to drop. But I try not to think like that and just go with the precautionary thing and have faith in my docs and the Lord.

yesthisiskim0401 · September 2013

I've had a quick one every appt to confirm she's head down. It doesn't even last a full minute. I had a growth u/s at 35 weeks.

Firefly062 · September 2013

I had a "growth bigger than age" ultrasound at 36 weeks and found that he was already between 7-8.5 pounds and measuring full term. I immediately wished I didn't have that information!

LizC216 · September 2013

20 weeks for me.

WSatisfiedP · September 2013

Weekly. If they wouldn't have seen a problem my last would have been a growth US @ 32 weeks

pmarie33 · September 2013

2 weeks ago to check growth.

JLW0504 · September 2013

I have one every week because of her size and because of my GD. She's measuring 5 weeks ahead and I'm on medication to help control my glucose levels.

babyLOLO13 · September 2013

29w but only to follow up on a low lying placenta and chorid plexus cysts. I'm totally ok not knowing how big or much baby weighs- as long as I'm measuring in normal range I'm happy.

kdjudd · September 2013

My last ultrasound was at 23 weeks I believe. I'd love to see the baby again, but at this point my doctor will only do an ultrasound if she is concerned about something.

Our LO also didn't cooperate at 20w, so 22 was our last one. I want to see her so bad! My office will do one on my due date, if I make it that far.

MrsKocal · September 2013

20 weeks. I will have one more at my BPP on my due date if she's still an inside baby. But I had one of those with DD as well, and the baby is so big at that point you can't really see much of anything - it's all a smooshy blur.

BlessUrHeart29 · September 2013

I had one at 35 weeks, and I'll have another next week, at 39 weeks. I'm surprised that with GD you haven't had any extras. My GD is diet controlled as well, but I had three extra ultrasounds scheduled to monitor the baby. At 35 weeks he was measuring 12th percentile. I'm really curious to see how much he's grown.

MissJackieMeri · September 2013

We did a growth scan last week at 35w3d since apparently my fundal height wasn't measuring to what I should be! But baby is fine and measuring on target.

cvjoyner · September 2013

20 weeks.

bnikiz · September 2013

Growth us last week fluid and cord Check us monday. I have gd so i do nsts twice a week and a weekly fluid and cord check. With dd i had the 18 w scan then one at 39 to check growth and possitions... good thing bc she had turned breech again

allymp13 · September 2013

I understand your being antsy, but Like others said, that's a sign of a healthy pregnancy. I have them every week starting 2 weeks ago. while its a plus to see LO it's actually nerve wracking bc they are testing for movements, growth, fluid levels etc. then I have to immediately drive to the hospital to see my OB to monitor LO again and get the results of the us. It's not fun.

This. Baby is measuring almost 2 weeks ahead as of last week at my ultrasound. I have a regular ob appt today.

MySunshine213 · September 2013

Technically last week.. I asked a question about baby's position, figuring she'd just feel around my belly, but she whipped out the u/s machine for a quick peek. I also got one during my L&D visit a couple weeks ago, also very brief. Otherwise my last one was at 20 weeks.

shelley1002 · September 2013

20 weeks was the last one. Unless something urgent comes up in the next few weeks I will not get another one.

HFrizzle · September 2013

24 or 26w

EmJ&B · September 2013

20, 26, and 32 because I was measuring small and he was measuring small. Last one was 36 weeks - I was still measuring small but he's perfect so we're done now!

BrittanyCupcakes · September 2013

I get a quick AFI check twice a week now but haven't seen baby since the a/s. They just do a quick check on a small screen that I can't see.

citygirl17 · September 2013

I had ultrasounds at 12 weeks, 18 weeks, and then monthly the entire pregnancy to monitor growth and now that I'm at the end it's been every other week. My last one was on 9/20, less than a week ago. I'll have another one next week at 39 weeks, and hopefully that will be it!

cerafina205 · September 2013

34 weeks. I get one more if I go past my due date to check the size of the baby.

chelseyestelle · September 2013

33 weeks because of elevated kidney fluid levels. He's all good now!

sfshorter · September 2013

a LONG time ago, not sure exactly how many weeks I was... doc says he sees no reason to do another unless I'm having some sort of issues. Baby has been head down, as far as I know, the entire pregnancy. (Doc always feels around and confirms this, plus I can tell by baby's movements most of the time.) Now I'm super paranoid that this baby will flip the wrong way and I won't know. Ugh.
