How many sonograms

Is the norm for a pregnancy? Is it 2? One in the beginning and the growth one at around 20 weeks? TIA

Re: How many sonograms

I only received 2 from my first pregnancy and will receive 2 with this one. According to the norm with insurance companies that is it., however that doesn't mean your dr.'s office will not give you more and or if you are a high risk pregnancy.
ETA: yes, one around 10-12 week mark for me and the other around 18-20 week mark.

Re: How many sonograms

I thiink normally you get another growth sometime in your 30 weeks.

I get one at every Dr. appt. but hear that is definately not typical.

Re: How many sonograms

I have been getting them everytime I go to the dr which is every 3-4 weeks

Re: How many sonograms

I only got one at 10 weeks and 20 weeks. they don't plan on doing another one unless something comes up.

Re: How many sonograms

I had internal sonos at 6 1/2 weeks and 9 weeks..but according to the way my doctor's office operarates, this was only because of my previous history, miscarraige, etc.

Then I had the standard 12 week and 20 weeks sonos..

I had a 3d sono done at 30 wks but that was my own choice (out of pocket)

I expect I'll have a growth sono soon, about 35-36 weeks?

Re: How many sonograms

Standard for my doc is 1 at about 18- 20 weeks. No others unless medically necessary.

Re: How many sonograms

i had 3.
one at 8 weeks (internal sono)
one at 18 weeks
one at 32 weeks.

Re: How many sonograms

I had an internal at 5, 7 and 11 weeks. I then had a sono at 13 and 19 weeks.

Re: How many sonograms

I had one @8wks, one @13wks for my ultrascreen (not necessary though) and my level II @ 20wks. After that I ran into some complications and had more than I can count!

Re: How many sonograms

My doctor only does one at 20 weeks.

The only reason why I am getting one on Wed bc I'm not sure how far along I am.... I'm either 8 or 12 weeks.

Re: How many sonograms

I had one at my first appointment (8 weeks) and then I will have one as part of the ultrascreen at 12 weeks. Then the Level II, but I don't know beyond that how many I'll have.

Re: How many sonograms

so far we had five - and are sched for one more next week - often its b/c she is apparently shy and squirms so we can't see!

we got one at 10 weeks, one at 20 weeks (she wasn't cooperating so we came back the next week!), one at 21 weeks, one at 23 weeks at the Hospital (they had seen a cpc on her brain which as was common went away, thank goodness!), the growth one at 35 weeks and I will be getting one more to judge length (she was squirmy last time) at 37 weeks.....

and luckily hae not paid for a single one...but its fun to watch her grow over time...its amazing!

Re: How many sonograms

I've had 5 so far due to some initial possible complications. The last one I had was for the UltraScreen and I guess the next one won't be until I'm 20 weeks for the Level 2.
