I have a question for all the mommies out there! I received a sonogram at my first doctor's appointment to confirm my pregnancy, then a ultrasound at my 20 week appointment, which everything came out great. But since then I have not had any other ultrasounds and I am at 29 weeks. Some of my girlfriends are also pregnant with me and they have received 3-4 ultrasounds, I'm just wondering what is the normal? Am I only going to get one ultrasound of my baby until I actually give birth and see my baby in person, and how come they are able to receive more ultrasounds?! thanks for the advice ahead of time ladies! ♡
This is exactly what I'm going through ...I had one at 7 weeks and then he said I wouldn't have another one until 20 ! 😦 I was a little confused but to ease my Mind and make sure everything is OK I purchased a heartbeat doppler . just to make sure everything is OK myself bc my next ultrasound isn't for months.
I believe it also depends on the obgyn you go to. I was going to one in the beginning of my pregnancy and didn't get a single ultrasound and then I moved to this new place where I get one every 2-4 weeks.
Unless your high risk they don't usually do to many of them with my first son I only had 3 one at 23 weeks 35 weeks and 38 due to measuring big at the end because of extra water . This pregnancy I have had two so far from my doctor one elective i paid out of pocket but because I have marginal cord insertion starting at 28 weeks I have to have one every 4 weeks to monitor growth . I am also paying for a 3D/4D out of pocket at 30 weeks ..
Depends on insurance and Dr, also they won't do a lot of ultrasound unless high risk or something about regular check ups aren't measuring right with the take measure to your belly, maybe request some and you might get more
I have really good insurance.. haven't had an ultrasound yet and I'm 14 weeks
My insurance covers 80/20 don't think it's about the insurance, but I could be wrong
I think it depends on your insurance I have only had three so far and I'm 26 weeks
with my forat i only got 2 ultrasounds. the first was to confirm it and the other was the anatomy scan.
