Re: Average Number of Sonograms
I had 3 with Emma - 7 wks to verify pregnancy, 19 wks level II, 32 wks to make sure the placenta moved
I've had so far 4- 7wks to verify pregnancy, 10 wks to get a better picture of the baby, 12wks for the Ultra Screen test, 18wks level II and Im having another at 23wks a better level II
Most women get between 2-3

Re: Average Number of Sonograms
It really depends on your doctor. I had two internal ones - at 6 weeks when my urine test showed I was PG, and again at 9 weeks to estimate my due date (I couldn't use LMP because I didn't have one!). I also had a level 2 at 20 weeks, and then one at about 34 weeks to make sure my placenta had moved up (I had a low lying plaenta). When my water broke and I was admitted into the hospital, I had one more because they had to see if the baby was still breech.

I only had one at 16 weeks. I have since gone to another doctor since we moved and he too only does one routine sonogram. Unless there is reason to do another for complications or something, I will only have that one.

Depending on the dr, but I think 3 is the norm, unless you develop GD like me, and then you go weekly (after 32 weeks).

Re: Average Number of Sonograms
I am 20 weeks and I am going for my 4th sono today...the only reason I have had one everytime is because we have not heard the heartbeat yet the little one moves so much...hopefully I will be able to hear it for the first time tonight and also find out if it's a or

Re: Average Number of Sonograms
I had 2 scheduled internals and one 20 week sono. I wound up having one additional internal sono and then an extra level II sono at 24 weeks due to some problems I experienced throughout the pregnancy.

Re: Average Number of Sonograms
With my son, I had one around 20 weeks and then another the day before he was born because I was 10 days overdue. With my daughter, I only had the one at 20 weeks and she was 12 days early.
