Did you have a third trimester ultrasound?

[Anonymous]

My OBGYN informed me that I probably will not have a third trimester ultrasound. Have other people had the same experience?

No, I had 2. One at 32 weeks and one at 37. The 32 week is standard for my practice, the other was because my baby measured so large at 32 wks.

I had one at 20 weeks and that was it.

My insurance will cover 2 standard: one at 20 weeks and one at 36-37 weeks. I also had one at 26 weeks because of a complication that was seen on the 20 week ultrasound.

I had two or three in the third trimester, but only because I was measuring big and they had trouble finding the heartbeat a couple of times. If it makes you uncomfortable, you could ask for one, I don't know if that's allowed or not, but worth a shot.

I had one at 32 weeks. No problems with the pregnancy; it's just routine in my doctor's practice to have one then to check on growth. I will not have one again unless there is a problem. My insurance covered it and I was thrilled for another chance to see our baby!

It's just as common not to have one after the 20-week unless one is needed for a specific reason, though. Personally, I was really grateful for the opportunity to see one more time that everything is fine.

Just one at 20 weeks with my practice.

I did with my last pregnancy because I was measuring very large and to check on things after I went past my due date. I just had my 20 week with my second pregnancy and don't expect to have any more (hopefully) if everything goes smoothly.

I'm 37 weeks now and haven't had one since 20 weeks. My doc says I won't unless there's a specific reason to do so. The only reason I really want one is to confirm the sex of the baby!

Only because I was measuring large and had too much amniotic fluid. Otherwise I wouldn't have wanted one.

I didn't have one after the 20 week sono for my first pregnancy. Unless there is a problem, there won't be another for this one either.

[Anonymous]

I only had one because of an abnormality that had been spotted at the 20 week sono.

[Anonymous]

I had one at 35 weeks to confirm size and position of baby, check fluid level. Because baby is breech now, they will check again in week 39.

last pregnancy I had one at 40w due to going overdue and to check on fluid levels.

with this pregnancy, I have a sizing one at 36w.

it depends on your provider.

I had one at 36 weeks because I have a kidney problem and they wanted to make sure the baby was doing okay and had enough fluid. FYI, they did not confirm the sex at this ultrasound; they said it is harder to see much because the baby is so big. You see a lot more at the 20-week ultrasound. But it was nice to know that everything was okay.
