@avahcruz, After that study came out, they did more research and found that it was inaccurate. Of course, more people look at “bad for you” articles, so they pop up earlier in searches
@lizibear84, maybe I got false information online. That’s what I found when I was looking for information on the topic.
@avahcruz, As an ultrasound tech, I can tell you that’s actually not true. Ultrasound does nothing to the body for the mom or baby. It’s the safest medical imaging technique available
Ok so it aint just insurance its a normal thing thats good to know. Thanks every1.
It's not just your insurance. I have Tricare and I only have had 2 ultrasounds and I am 33+ weeks and won't be getting anymore. It's just how they do it.
I only have received 3. Would have been only 2 but got the 3rd one because I opted to test for abnormalities. I know you're excited, but unless you're high risk your doctor won't give you more than standard ultrasounds. The only way to get more is if you go to a source that does them for you outside of your doctors office. They normally cost around 90 dollars so it's almost not even worth it because you could use the money to get your baby the things he or she will need. The wait will definitely be worth it when your baby gets here ❤
Pretty much what all the ladies said. It's not because you're on medicaid. Most insurances only cover 2-3 because that's all that's necessary. You're best bet is to go to a private 3D ultrasound place, you might be able to find a deal on Groupon.
You get more ultrasounds if you have a high risk pregnancy and they need to check on your baby more often.
Ultrasounds send sound waves that bounce of you baby’s body which creates the image that you see when having one. They limit them to two (one to see how far along you are, and one to get their measurements, gender, check on how they’re developing, etc) because the sound frequencies have been known to cause discomfort for the baby in the womb.
They might have just ment that they wont pay for another one
Talk to your dr about being able to pay for them. My dr only gave me 2 as well but said I could pay 200 for another one if I wanted so double check and make sure you cant through them first
The standard is usually your dating scan and then your anatomy scan, regardless of insurance. Yes, some women may have more than that, but typically, that's all the ultrasounds you get unless you pay for an elective ultrasound or are high risk.
I was only given 2-3 and paid for one 😩 it's not fair at all
@lizibear84, that makes sense, I’ll have to look more into it, thanks for sharing 😄
