Dr. Appt

I am about 24-25 weeks along and everytime I have gone to the doctor I have gotten a sonogram(i had some issues early on and had to go more than normal). I just called to confirm my appt for tomorrow and the girls said no sonogram tomorrow. The last one I had was at 20 weeks which was like 4-5 weeks ago.. arn't I at the point that I should be getting one once a month or is preggo brain really got me confused???

Re: Dr. Appt

Actually, I'm always surprised at how many sonos some of the ladies here get.

I was only getting 2 sono's my entire pregnancy 12 weeks and 20 weeks.

But due to some of my bloodwork, I will be getting 3 more during my 3rd trimester. If I hadn't had that come up, I would be done with all my sono's at this point.

really.. thats just seems so unfair.. how do they monitor everything..

Re: Dr. Appt

I am now 33 weeks along and I have had 3 sonos and I have the complications of a full previa.

I had one at 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 28 weeks, and will have another this Monday at 34 (but this one is not typical - it is so they can check the previa).

They monitor me with checkups at the office every 3-4 weeks, which will probably change to every 1-2 weeks shortly. At which they weight me, listen to the baby's heart, measure my belly, and review everything that is going on.

Nobody I know has sonos at every visit.

Re: Dr. Appt

I have sonos at just about every visit give or take and was seeing my doctor every month and most recently every 3 weeks...I'm 30 weeks. I've had a "normal" pregnancy up until recently when I was diagnosed with GD so now my doctor needs to monitor me every week and will be doing sonos a lot more frequently. It really depends on your doctor because some girls only get several while others get them a lot more frequently. I love that I get to see a lot more often even though it's only for a minute or two I wouldn't worry at all if they aren't doing one at your next visit, there will be more to come in the coming months!

Re: Dr. Appt

Mr Dr is less is more when it comes to sonograms. I got one at 12 weeks, again at 20 weeks and I am going to ask her about the growth sono.

Re: Dr. Appt

Most doctors do not do sonos at every visit. In fact, some doctors only do the Level II sono. My last sono was at 17 weeks and I won't have another one until sometime between 32 and 34 weeks.

Re: Dr. Appt

i've had 3 so far and i'm 24 weeks. i had my first at 7 weeks, one at 12, and the latest at 20 weeks. i just went for my monthly visit yesterday and i didn't get one...bummer! i'm sure if they didn't schedule you for one tomorrow you don't need one...but if you have doubts, give them a call top be safe!
