Q: Ultrasound Next Week!

asked by: sarahsweet on November 24th, 2004

I totally forgot that I have an ultrasound next week already! I have already had 3, and will be getting 2 more, reason is, I have to take a medication called a beta blocker for my heart condition. There is a chance that the beta blocker could decrease the baby's growth, so he wants to see that the baby is growing properly. I know its rare...But is there anyone else out there that has had to take a beta blocker while pregnant? (i know that they are also used for migraines and other purposes) just wondering....So far the baby is growing right on....I hope she will be ok!

Yea, thats how it usually goes. Before I talked to my heart doctor he told me that I would probably have 2 ultrasounds, if there were no problems. However, since I found out I was pregnant, I went in twice for bleeding, and once for cramps, they did one ultrasound between those visits. Then after I talked to the heart doctor, he wrote a note to my ob saying he wants a few ultrsounds done to make sure baby is growing where she is supposed to be.

I had so many ultrasounds! I had 6, then I went into premature labor and they had to fly me out of my hometown because are hospital doesn't have the stuff to care for a preemie, so I was gone for 5 weeks and had to have ultrasounds 3 times a week! My little girl is here now, happy and healthy! But I got lots of pictures from all the ultrasounds and I got to see her all the time! So that was a plus!
