How many ultrasounds are done in an average pregnancy?
5 March 2010 12 Responses
A Parent asks, I was just curious as to how many ultrasounds are done in an average pregnancy?
I’m 29wks – i had one at 15/16wks and one at 20 wks.
Every appointment the doc checks baby’s position and we hear the heartbeat etc – and everything is going well according to her
Is it routine to have more ultrasounds done from this stage? Or will one only be done if they suspect something is wrong?
Thanks.

My friend only had 1 done, I had 7 but I was measuring big and they were trying to figure out why and my daughter had cysts on her brain but luckily they went away.
prpbaly only if they think something is up. I had two with each of my kids
That sounds about right. I had one right in the beginning, another to find out the sex, and another at 8 months (because the baby was breeched)…but that was six years ago…things might have changed since then.
between 3 and 4 but if you would like to see the baby more he cant deny you more if you ask him
Usually only 2, but some doctors will want one if you go overdue or if there seems to be a complication. Also, you probably have the option of requesting another one or getting a 3D one, but your insurance would probably not cover it.
I had the first one at 10 weeks, the second at 19, and then a third at the hospital the night before my cesarean.
Good luck and congratulations!
we have had 4 kids…I have seen anywhere from 1 to 3 or 4 max…the less the better…I know they are fun, but the baby doesn’t really care for them so If all is good to go….the less the better.
I think one or two is normal. I had more but they thought there was a problem…had me freaking out and crying…but everything turned out normal.
You have the right to refuse extra ultrasounds if you are worried about exposing the baby to it.
It depends on your insurance and whether or not you have complications or not. My insurance only covered one ultrasound at 20 weeks. They will only cover more if the ultrasound is absolutely necessary.
I had 2
but it really depends on the pregnancy
that depends on you and the Dr with my first child i had 4 ultrasounds with my middle 2 kids i had 2 ultrasounds with my last i had one a month he was upside down and they where worried he would be breach
its just rountine dont worry because its completely normal. i know twelve people who have just recently had babies. (i get out alot) and it is completely normal.
1 or 2 ultrasounds, depending on your doctor. They will probably only do another if something is wrong or you are high risk.
