    I def don't feel picked on at all. I asked a question and people answered. It seemed that there were a lot of early ultrasounds and people rightfully nervous about results- and I was just wondering if this was policy at some doctors. It seems that most people who answered had a medical reason to have them done a bit early. i made an assumption, asked a question and realized my assumption was wrong, that's all- prob should have worded a bit better. Thanks for taking the time to answer :)
    You are officially awesome. :)

    So glad that can shine through despite my nondescript screen name and lack of avatar ;)

  • Never had an previous losses or fertility issues. My Dr. wants one for dating. I have my 1st u/s tomorrow, when I'm a little over 8 weeks.

  • Someone asked why she cared. Just this post combined with others I've seen seems like some people get quickly irritated.

    My OB just likes to do ultrasounds so he will do one every appointment usually until the end when I am going weekly. It's kind of nice to have the option or if I'm in a hurry I can just tell him I don't want to see baby today and we can skip. I know this isn't common since most places charge if you want extra ultrasounds.

    This is me too. My ob does them at every visit and I am not high risk.

  • Early u/s is standard for fertility clinics that are monitoring a pregnancy, so yea. By the time I'm 12 weeks I will have 5 u/s.
