No Ultrasound Till 20 Weeks?

edited April 2015 in November 2015 Moms
Anyone else's Doctor tell them they wouldn't have an ultrasound till their 20th week? I live in a small community and I'm going to a local clinic which I can understand if they don't have the ultrasound stuff but I do have the hospital I'm suppose to deliver at which is where I can get my ultrasound done. Just wondering if it's normal to wait that long?

From the moment I held you in my arms, I knew it was meant to be.

I adore her smile,
I cherish her hugs,
I admire her heart.
But most of all,
I love that she is my daughter.

    It's normal. Especially if there are no risk factors or concerns. Usually can get ultrasound at about 12 weeks for first trimester screening if opt for that.

    Im waiting until 20 weeks myself.

    I will have my first at 20 weeks too. I agree with PP, that when often seems related to risk factors. Without specific concerns, I have heard that some insurance companies may not cover early ultrasounds due to a lack of medical necessity.

    That's pretty standard for most healthy pregnancies.

    I'm at risk so I had one at my first appointment. I found out my calculations were wrong I wasn't 7 weeks but almost 9. Baby was a cute worm with a heart beat.

    This is routine at my OB. Also, there have been several threads on this topic if you want more feedback.

    Unless you have question on when you conceived or are high risk the anatomy scan is all that is recommended by the ACOG.

    I get a scan at week 12 that I opted in for and then another at 19 weeks for anatomical, this is my second pregnancy, high risk and I live in Canada, I may have more monitoring towards end because of my high risk status I was told.

    Idk if I could opt for it because of my insurance. It would be nice to have early ultrasound pictures for the scrapbook and the baby book. I may go ahead and ask my next appointment and see what my choices are.
