Ultrasound ?

Do most people get an ultrasound done at their first OB appt (10 weeks)?  Or, am I getting this cuz I am old?  haha.

I didn't have an ultrasound with Kellen until the 22 week mark.  Just wondering why they automatically signed me up when I called to schedule my appt a couple of weeks ago.

TIA!

Re: Ultrasound ?

  • I think that I got one at my 1st appt...but I can't remember for sure.
  • Depends on the dr. My ob office always does one on the first visit.

  • A lot of OB's will do an ultraound at your first appointment, especially if you have a tilted uterus or if you don't know the exact date of ovulation.

    Then they do another at around 12wks for NT screening, etc.

    Then another at 20ish weeks for anatomy

    and possibly another for size/breathing practice around 32-36wks.

  • I go to ObGyn Assc and didn't have one until 24 weeks. However, I've gotten one at nearly every appointment since because the little stinker is causing a bit of concern for the doctors.

    I'm 23 if that makes a difference Wink

  • Hey congrats! I  must have missed the anouncement!

    I had one at my first appt (6w4d), 13 weeks for my NT scan, and 20ish weeks for the anatomy scan.

    So no, I doubt you were being targeted for age ;)

  • My OB office does NOT do one automatically on the first visit.  We did not have one with C 2 years ago.  We did have one this time but only because there was uncertainty about our conception/due date.

  • I had one early on (a quick 2nd appointment) to check for a due date.  Then the "normal" one at 20 weeks.  After that, I had GD and had one every week from the beginning of 3rd tri on.  That may not help a whole lot though, because I was "old" too!
  • we did with DS b/c i have long cycles, and then didnt have another until 23 wks.

    Some drs offices have it standard, others dont.
