Anyone NOT having an ultrasound lately?

talkthewholetime · March 2014

Reading everyone's posts, I feel like I'm one of the only people who hasn't had an ultrasound lately.

What does your office do?

My doctor told me they will do one at 36 weeks for positioning/size guesstimate. My last ultrasound was my anatomy scan. I feel like it's been forever since we peeked in there and of course the crazy parts of me worry.

I had a very very very brief one at 32 weeks to confirm he was breech. It wasn't planned, but my MW wanted to be sure. I imagine I'll probably have another later down the line to double
check position again.

I can't speak for everyone, but if you're high risk, than you get more ultra sounds. Unless you do one of those elective 3-D ones.

usernewname · March 2014

I won't have another. The 3D was elective and for fun. Last one I had for medical purposes was 20 weeks.

Baby's head down so unless I go overdue no more for me.

skyrockets · March 2014

We are having an elective one paid for out of pocket because we feel the same way. No more from MDs unless there is a suspected issue.

flowerx2 · March 2014

I'm pretty lucky and get a quick one at each appointment.

jackdustin · March 2014

Had one at 8 weeks and 20 weeks. I was told by my doctor that I probably will not have anymore.

Mikki62 · March 2014

I had an elective 3D ultrasound for fun but my doctor won't do another one unless there's a problem. They only do an early dating ultrasound and a 20 week ultrasound.

Tnpeach · March 2014

12 and 20 weeks. That's it for me, unless something changes.

cbrust · March 2014

I haven't had one since my anatomy scan at 19wks and won't until 36wks to confirm position. I feel like it's been forever since I've gotten to see my little peanut!

I wish I werent

ecinereb · March 2014

I don't have one scheduled and won't have one unless there is a concern, so hoping it stays that way.

britab · March 2014

I'm having one tomorrow because I'm measuring behind. Be thankful you don't need one!

lindseylu10 · March 2014

I had one at 17 weeks for dating purposes and a brief one at 20 weeks and that will be it until we meet the little fella/lady. I'm very thankful to have not needed additional ultrasounds, I have a girlfriend due 4 weeks after me and she's had 5 so far due to various issues and it is terribly stressful on her.

(((Hugs)))

And OP, like pp said, most of us getting additional ultrasounds are getting them because there is an issue or they are trying to rule out an issue. I've had 2 impromptu ultrasounds since my a/s but neither one of them were for fun. Luckily everything is fine, but I'd be just as happy to feel "normal" in this pregnancy.

20w, 30w for size and found out LO is Frank breech, will have another on Monday (34w) to see if he is still breech. He's measuring big but my fundal height is behind.

Peaceb0ne · March 2014

I had an elective one at 28 weeks, but I don't think that I get another one at the Dr's office unless there is an issue.

YTLCNURSE · March 2014

I'm in the same boat as you. Last ultrasound was my anatomy scan at 20 weeks. I think I get another one at 36 weeks. Currently 31 weeks.

Marcella05 · March 2014

I've had 3 so far. I have a 4th scheduled at 33 weeks to see if his growth is ahead of schedule (because of my crazy measurement this week). It seems like there isn't much of a need outside the typical two unless doc sees red flags.

This is the same for me.

hfooter · March 2014

If I didn't have a low lying placenta and the midwife was able to tell where he was position on Tuesday I wouldn't have/be scheduled to have any more (after the A/S).

runningyogimama · March 2014

Just the dating one and A/S.

bridetobe9132013 · March 2014

I had one at 8w4d and the a/s at 18w2d but I'm very happy I haven't had any issues or needed one since. I will be asking my Dr at my next visit if I'll be getting another one. I would love one but if not, I'll see what she looks like at delivery

whitehousem · March 2014

I never had one after the A/S with DD. Now I have had so many I have lost count (every two weeks bc mo/di twins). It's nice to see the babies, but my insurance does not cover ANY ultrasounds until I meet my deductible (which just started over Jan 1) and I get charged double since there are two babies... So it's like $350-$500 each time. I know it's nice to see baby and be reassured but having them all the time I constantly feel like they will find something wrong. So that's the flip side...

CookingStar · March 2014

With my first pregnancy I had 9 ultrasounds since my daughter has a kidney issue. This time I've had just the anatomy scan at 21 weeks and all was fine so I'm not going to get another unless an issue comes up

deanna1313 · March 2014

My last ultrasound was the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. I won't get another ultrasound at all. I thought that was routine unless you were high risk. It does seem like everyone else has had them.

Kay4244 · March 2014

Last one was the at 18 weeks and I won't be getting another one.

jsaffer01 · March 2014

As far as I know I don't get another one unless something is off... My last one was the anatomy scan at 17wks. I wish I had another just to see my baby. And I don't want to pay for a 3D scan.

Same unless issues arise

RedInLove · March 2014

I had my dating at 7w. Then a quick one to hear the HB at 11w, took about 2 minutes. Then a/s at 18w, and more measurements at 23w with MFM. I don't know if there will be any more.

spacepotatoes · March 2014

I had a brief one at 28w to check placenta location. Unless anything else comes up, that will be it.

dogsombrero · March 2014

My last one was a repeat A/S at 24 because his heart wasn't visible behind his spine well enough at 19 weeks and the stinker wouldn't move.

I will probably get another one around 34 weeks if he still hasn't turned, he moved from breech to transverse but my placenta is pretty low so I guess that's a concern for why he hasn't turned yet.

Cupcakes89 · March 2014

I get one anytime I ask unless it's super busy. My doctor does them for free on their machine in their office.. The quality isn't perfect but he prints out a few pics and what not. It's good enough to measure their head and body and see some features. I've had one almost every other time I've gone which is exciting!

danabsd · March 2014

Unless they order a growth scan my anatomy scan will be my last u/s. I had a growth scan with Beb so I'll likely have one.

Think about it this way, you don't need extra u/s because everything's going well.

CVislo · March 2014

I have a short one at every appointment. My doctor believes this will keep better track of baby's development and make it easier to spot something that might be off.

cnbean · March 2014

Last one was the A/S at 18wks. Unless something comes up I probably won't have another one either.

AugustGlass · March 2014

My OB doesn't do one after the a/s unless there's a reason to.

Hallil · March 2014

One us at 20 weeks and that is all unless something concerning comes up.

LoveIsAll25 · March 2014

Like other PP, no more ultrasounds for me.

ho11yday · March 2014

I only get two scheduled ones: the dating scan at 8 weeks and the anatomy scan at 19 weeks. Last time, I ended up with two others: one for growth at 32 weeks and the second at 41 weeks when they were deciding to induce.

Since baby is right on schedule size-wise and I'm hoping not to be induced, I don't expect that I'll see LO until after he is born.
