That makes sense @christineann

There's no clear studies on the safety of ultrasounds so some drs do them far less than others. Guess it's just who you go with but it's not uncommon to not get them done more than once or twice.

@christineann,

Ok that makes me feel a little better my sister is keep on telling me to switch to her doc because she gets them every month

My first appt wasn't til 12 weeks. I did hear the hb but that's bc I was 12 weeks, even then is iffy to find it. Otherwise just a pap, checked cervix, weight, bp. My next is at 16 weeks & I'm expecting just a weight, bp & hear heartbeat.
