Hi. Does anyone know when or if there will be another ultrasound done after the mid pregnancy one?

    It depends on the doctor, the woman, the pregnancy, etc. 
    With my first I had them done every week. This time I have one every time I go to the OB, which is about 1x/month for now.

    Usually that will be your only one unless your doc sees the need for another.  I'll have another at 32w to check my placenta since right now it's blocking my cervix.

    No one here can answer that question. Ask your ob or call your insurance to see what they cover.

    Depends on the doc and your situation. Some will do a growth scan towards the end to "guesstimate" the size of the baby.

    Yeah I would ask your doctor. Every place is different. My doctor does ultrasounds every visit unless I tell him not to. Which I do ask him not to do an ultrasound when I am going weekly because I just don't have time for that. He doesn't charge extra or anything, he just likes to do ultrasounds every visit.

    Definitely call your doctors office and ask them.

    No one here knows your doctors practices.

    I'm having another at 32 weeks only to see if a cyst cleared up. I'd much rather everything be normal and my anatomy scan be the last ultrasound.

    As the others have said, it's different with each practice. At mine they do 3 ultrasounds; 8 wks, 20 wks, and 32 wks.

    I asked my doctor that same question a few weeks ago. With my first I had a low lying placenta and ended up with 3 or 4 after the 20 week. With this baby (no issues) her answer was that we would see but I got the impression there wasn't a need.

    With my first pregnancy they had to monitor his growth & rule out Down's syndrome so I had like 10. This time I have only had one at 18 weeks & my doctor said since there are no issues that's it. I may pay for one of those 4d ultrasounds just cause I can't wait to see my babe again!

    At my practice, I was told "at this point I see no reason to need anymore u/s unless there's a problem"

    It depends on your pregnancy and care provider, as pp have said. I'll be having another at 28 weeks to check on some measurements that weren't quite right at our 20 week scan.

    I had them done every month after my anatomy scan with my son because he has a limb difference and they wanted to see how everything was growing. Then at I think 34 weeks I was getting them twice a week along with non stress tests because I had gestational diabetes. I have GD with this one too so I think it'll be the same.

    If your pregnancy is low risk you probably won't have any more after your anatomy scan

    I had none after 20 weeks with my first, one with my second because they couldn't visual his stomach, and this time they're having me come back around 30 weeks just to check growth. There isn't a normal.

    I'm doing one more around 32 weeks becuase I'm over 35.

    OMG I am mesmerized by your GIF of the growing tummy. And more specifically, watching all those organs get squashed!!!

    I am having another one in January to check on growth because she was measuring a few days smaller than they expected. They didn't seem concerned about anything or tell me that they were changing the due date as of yet.
