[quote=Anonymous]Here's my deal.  I am 42.5 and I have been trying to conceive a second child for 7 years.  After suffering losses I am finally pregnant again-9 weeks 2 days.  With my first pregnancy I did not find out until I was about 17 weeks due to really inconsistent cycle. I didn't start feeling that baby move until around 32 weeks.  I am overweight and carry all of my extra weight in my belly.  So I just look fatter and not necessarily pregnant.

Because of my losses and my weight I was wondering can you get extra ultrasounds either through OB or on your own?  Can I just ask for extra ones?

I know it sounds crazy, and I probably should not be exposing my baby to unnecessary sound waves but I am going crazy thinking something might happen to this baby.  My OB said I could have one once a month, but I would like to have one every two weeks or so.

I know my chance of miscarriage goes down every week, but then I made the mistake of googling and found all these other statistics regarding weight, and especially age which then increase my chances throughout the pregnancy.

I had one this past Monday and not scheduled for another one for 4 weeks.  I don't know if I can last that long without hearing the heartbeat again.

And does anyone have experience with the ones you can buy for home use?  I've heard that they don't really work that well.[/quote]
