CP: Did you get a non-elective ultrasound after your a/s?

[Deleted]

Yes, I think I had 3 or 4 after my A/S.

[ilikedonuts]

Yes 1 each pregnancy at 38 weeks.

[tcu2003]

Yes, I had three. One around 32-ish weeks, I think. One at 39 weeks, and another at 40 weeks + a few days.

ETA: totally complication-free pregnancy, other than my kid never wanted to leave at the end

[badtzmaru22]

Yes, b/c it was a follow up to an issue at the AS. (Everything resolved just fine).

[scribellesam]

I had one for possible placenta previa at 30 weeks and a growth scan at 37 weeks with DS2.

[zarapipe]

With dd1, only bc they didn't get all the measurements and tHere was a question on a valve in her heaRt.

Dd2 I Had 1 because my placenta was ok top of my cervix and it had multiple lobes. it moved around 30 weeks.

[linz]

I had a lot for twins but my OB does one around 32 weeks.

[karinothing]

For DS1 I had a growth scan, since I measured so small. Nothing for DS2

[Deleted]

Yes, I think one to check the baby's size (I had GD) and a second at 38 weeks to check her positioning. Even though I was having a RCS, my OB wanted to know if he was "going to encounter a butt first."

[heygrey]

I had a second at 31idh weeks because they didn't get adequate pictures of his heart at the a/s and with known heart conditions in my family it was highly recommended we revisit that.

I had a third hours before I was induced. My midwife suspected low fluid and was correct.

[Brie]

Yes. One at 32w to check kidneys since C had kidney issues and then a BPP the day they eventually induced me.

I didn't have any with C though.

[anaps28]

After 20w I had 1 for low lying placenta check and 1 for growth.

[ladygrey]

Yes, one at 38 weeks to check the baby's position, which is where we found out she was breech.

[cincodemayo]

Yep, one at 26 and one at 33 weeks because he had fluid on his kidneys.

I am paranoid this one is breech. Not paranoid like OMG I REALLY NEED A VBAC AND THAT WILL RUIN IT but paranoid that they won't figure it out and I'll try for a VBAC and then a leg will come out or something. Like @notquiteblushing

Because I have an anterior placenta I don't feel her as much as DD1 and I worry the doctors don't really know her position. Irrational?

Not irrational at all. I keep having a gut feeling that kid #2 will end up breech as well. Even though I already have my RCS scheduled, it would still be an ironic twist.

[bcarp30]

Yes. I was high risk and had a pre term labor scare at 20 weeks so I had multiple ultrasounds. Once that resolved my OB was concerned because she hadn't flipped and was measuring large. The last one was at 36 weeks.

[jewel]

I had a few. 2 right after the a/s because there were some concerns with his heart. Then at least one towards the end, to check fluid levels.

[pippa]

Yes with both pregnancies. With DS I had GD. I had NSTs and ultrasounds weekly after 28 weeks.

With DD I had one for growth ultrasound.

[tulips]

Yes. I had then every 4 weeks during K's pregnancy because they were monitoring my cervix.

With X, I had them every two weeks after I hit 14 weeks for cervix monitoring + a couple other ones while I was in the hospital before I went on bed rest.

[redheadbaker]

Yes, I had three growth U/S because I was high-risk, and they were worried about IUGR.

[litasail]

I was high risk so I had one at every appointment.

[lo]

One at 24 weeks because they didn't get a clear look at her face at the a/s and then at 40 weeks when I failed a nst.

[ryry]

Yes, at 37 weeks to see if he was head down.

[Willis Jackson]

Nope x 3

[meltoine]

Yes with 2/3. DS1 was monitored for hydro nephrotic. I had 3 ultrasounds after my AS.

DS2 I only had the AS.

DS3 I had one more at 28 weeks bi have a large placental lake and they needed to monitor it to see if it got bigger.

[degal99]

Yep. They did one around 32 weeks to check her thyroid because I was hypo. I also had one when my water broke to make sure she was head down.

[turtlegirl]

My dr never uses the doppler, he just uses the small portable u/s machine at every appointment to find the heartbeat. So I get a super quick 3-5 min ultrasound at every appointment. Just enough to make sure baby is head down, has a decent amount of fluid and hear the heartbeat.

[countthestars]

I had one at like 41w or something along with my NST. I'm not sure if my gestational diabetes will require one this time around.

[jeaniebueller]

Yes but I was high risk.

[sent]

When is the anatomy scan? 20 weeks?

The weeks are fuzzy in my head now, but I don't remember when I was scheduled for one after 20 weeks but there was supposed to be one. I went to the OB at 28 weeks because I didn't feel the baby move for 18 hours, she did a mini one and literally dragged me to the hospital where they did a fancier one and said I had low AF. Then I had one weekly until 32 weeks at my MFM's office to monitor the fluid level which wasn't getting better. I was sent back to the hospital at 33 weeks for another scan and some IV fluids because the fluid level dropped more. I had one each morning that weekend - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The tech refused to tell me the AF number on Sunday. An entourage of OBs arrived and said "This baby is being born today."
