Kinda glad I'm switching OB's. 😁 she's trying to tell me that they only do an initial ultrasound at…

that's normal unless you have a HR pregnancy sadly

she shouldn't have worded it like that but honestly unless your high-risk most OBs only give you 2-3ultrasounds your entire pregnancy.

Its normal to have 2 maybe 3 ultrasounds, insurance wont cover unless medically necessary. High risk is the exception, but normal pregnancies only get a couple

my Dr does an ultrasound every visit except 2 where they just used a doppler but this last time they did a ultrasound again to to check on her again

You should ask your new doctor how many they normally do before you switch. Only having 2 ultrasounds is normal..

@hermommy, I think I'm overly concerned because I'm a first time mommy and because at 9 weeks I went to the ER and they found a hemorrhage behind my placenta and told me it was a threatened miscarriage and I was never actually cleared from it. She never did and ultrasound to check and see if it was gone. She just told me it was probably fine. So I'm over here biting my nails like please let me see my little boy 😁😂

My OBGYN was the same way! I got one at 9 weeks (which just to see confirm how far I was and my due date) and I am not getting another one until 20 weeks. When I thought they did one at 16 but I guess not..

I even asked if I could have one at 16 weeks to check to see if everything was good with my endometriosis and she wouldn't order one.

@christimary0 well that I understand she should check that, I'm a ftm as well but I'm high risk so I had 6/7 ultrasounds by 22 weeks and new the gender by 11 now lol nothing i get my last on the 7th if I don't have her before then. maybe tell her Look, I want that hemmorige checked

I get one every month cause I'm high risk

I get one every month right now and at 24 weeks it will be every 2 weeks and at 34 weeks it does to every week and I get a U/S at every appt. I love my OB & I'm not high risk, he is just a great OB

That is very true unless you are a high risk you get ultrasounds very very often. I've came to the point in this pregnancy that I don't even know what to do with my ultrasound pictures. I've been getting one each week since I was 5 weeks along. I am a very high risk so I can see why they keep checking from top to bottom and bottom to top. I had a friend get charged an ultrasound because she insisted on getting one and her insurance made her pay for it which I think is messed up.

I totally understand, I switch to a different ob because the guy I had originally wouldn't do any except the 20 week one, and as a ftm I wanted to make sure my due date was right and that my baby was ok. so I switched and got one at 12 weeks and 20 weeks with my new ob, and had one at 32 weeks because of risk factors. I get why doctors don't want to do too many though, they don't know for sure that there are no side effects from too many ultrasounds, so most doctors play it safe and only do more if necessary, and I totally respect that.
