[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slightly OT, but why are women routinely getting ultrasounds this early in pregnancy?  There's really nothing that can be done at that point.  I miscarried at 8 weeks and it wouldn't have been nearly as hard if I hadn't seen it on the screen two weeks earlier.  It never really felt real until that point.  Then with my next (successful) pregnancy, I had so many ultrasounds throughout.  My FIL, who at that time was still a practicing OBGYN, was floored, but then he admitted that many other docitors in his practice order a lot too, and not necessarily because it's in the best interest of the patient.  No wonder medical costs/insurance is so high.[/quote]

Standard protocol for IVF pregnancies. Often it's for the clinic's records before you get handed off to an OB. Many women who work with reproductive immunologists might tweak meds accordingly (IVIG or intralipid infusions for example). And if there is a miscarriage, for many women who have been through infertility, they'd prefer to move forward with a D&C and not lose more precious time as opposed to waiting several weeks between scans only to find that at a 12 week scan baby stopped thriving weeks before. Miscarriage and D&C just puts us right back at square one. Some have no time to lose.[/quote]

NP.  Makes total sense for IVF. But frequent sonos for routine pregnancies is definitely a new(ish) thing.[/quote]
