How many has everyone had and why. I've only had two and I had to beg for the second one. I'm normal and low risk I guess.

I had one when I first went in (i had to schedule it though, they dont do it like some of the girls at my doctors office. You have to schedule it and everything) because I kept telling them that I had a period but I know that I conceived before that. Which was at 14 week 4 days I think...But they thought I was 12 weeks 2 days.

And then I had the normal routine one at 20 weeks...It may have been 21. But yeah, if I want another one I have to pay a crap load of money. Which isnt gonna happen.

Damn straight. I here all these girls/women talking about all 10 of their ultrasounds, and that's just not how they're doing it for me. They do the ultrasound at my doctors office, but I still have to schedule it because they have a sonographer, my doctor doesn't do it. They're freaking expensive.

I had two ultrasounds...One when I first found out I was pregnant, and the second one when I found out I lost the baby.

Wow i've had four! I had one at 6 weeks because I thought I had an ectopic pregnancy, one at 10 weeks for my "first" appointment, on at 19 weeks to see the sex, and one at 29 weeks because I hadn't felt her move all day. And I get another at 32 weeks to see how big she is!

Lauren, just tell your doc you haven't felt her move in awhile and you think something might be wrong, if she won't give you one!

I had two so far, the second one was b/c the doc was worried that the baby might be too small and I might have to get another one for the same reason but I doubt it cause the doc said everything was fine.

they probably couldnt even tell. You have to be further along for them to see it, and they normally have to do a vaginal ultrasound until your 12 weeks.

Arrgh I always gotta beg for mine too! And the doctors keep telling me im a high risk, so what the heck why do I gotta keep begging for one >d I had one so far but that was in the philippines. Hello, can I have american technology too? Lol. Philippines is low quality I dont trust their stuff. I'd want everything to be more accurate. Thankfully im getting another one in two weeks.

Actually today I went to an e.R. In colorado because I hadn't felt her move in two days. I was freaking out. They hooked me up to a fetal heart moniter and some other kind of moniter. It took a while to find the heart beat so that was scary. Once they found her she kicked the moniter and I felt so much better. I'm glad i'm not the only one, but it was pretty scary.

I have had I think 5 ultra sounds, 1st one at 7 weeks for my first appointment, then again at almost 11 weeks (no reason for it), then one around 21 weeks, then at 23 weeks (emergancy to make sure she was ok, after I was attacked) and then one recently when she wasn't moving as much as normal for 4 days. I doubt I will get anymore though.
