Growth U/S

When did you start getting growth u/s?  I have not had one yet.  I have an appt on Friday and plan to ask the dr about it. 

Re: Growth U/S

  • Definitely ask!  I had my first at 19w4d and that's when we noticed my cervix starting to funnel and decided to watch it closer.  Without that u/s, and the subsequent follow ups, I highly doubt I would have carried these babies past 24 weeks.

    Plus there was a significant size difference between my two at the time (and for about 2 months afterward).  It turned out little miss caught up and it was nothing to really worry about, but it could have been.

  • My growth scans started at 23 weeks.  I had them every 3 weeks until 32 weeks when the babies were too big to measure.

    I think before the growth u/s, they measure in terms of weeks?  Not sure.

    I would ask at your next appt. 

     

     

  • I started the growth checks after my "big" U/S at 20 weeks. The first was 4 weeks later (at 24 weeks), then another 4 weeks after that (today at 28 weeks). Now they want to see me every 2 weeks... 
  • Every 4 weeks starting at 20 weeks.
  • I had one at 20w then again this morning (should have been last week but things got screwy with the holidays)..

  • We had our "big" ultrasound at 18 weeks, a growth ultrasound at 24 weeks, and will have another one at 28 weeks (they are every 3-4 weeks now).

  • I will have my first one at 21 weeks.
