Ok, so for the first 2 times I went to the dr I got a vaginal ultrasound, my last was at 10weeks, I am now 16.5 weeks . I have heard the heartbeat the last few weeks, but im worried about development because I have reason to believe that I have a tilted uterus, and Im only 16, I have no clue what to expect. I have an over the belly ultrasound appointment for the end of feb, how often can I expect to get ultrasounds now?

Chazoos I know it can be very frustrating if you feel like you are being disregarded like you have, changing your doctor if your not happy with them is a good start you have to have confidence in your doctor! Listen to your body if you have any concerns get seen asap! The doctor may have thought that your body is coping well enough not to need any intervention at this point but if thats what they thought they should have communicated better with you! Hope you find more support with your new doctor! take care x

I hope someone can help. I just came back from my first u/s this morning, I'm so upset. According to my LMP, today I should have been 9 weeks 5 days pregnant. At my u/s, the tech only saw a normal yolk sac and said I was 6 weeks, 5 days. I'm really concerned that the baby isn't developing normally. I have a normal 28 day cycle, I eat well and exercise regularly. I've had minimal pregnancy symptoms. Mostly extreme tiredness, sore boobs, moody and some nausea. But the symptoms aren't as bad as they were 2 weeks ago. I'm so worried that something is wrong. I have to go for another u/s in 10 days. That seems so far away. I hope someone has some good perspective on this.

I am having a hard time with my OB. I had an ultrasound at 19 weeks and when I got home and looked at my pictures I can see a foot above my baby's face. Twins run in both side of mine and my fiancee's sides of the family. When I brought this to my OB's attention he told me that ultrasound pictures mean nothing. I have the ultrasound attached to the pictures on my page if anyone can help me by taking a look and letting me know what you think it would be great. Thank you for your help I really need it.

I go for my u/s in 2 days. Yes on Christmas Eve. Besides Orange Juice to get a aby to move alot and perhaps show gender eventually, does anyone have any ideas that re natural, and safe?

I know.. I'm starting to think my doctor just can't be bothered to deal with me.. she's trying to send me to a Shared Carer instead of seeing her.. I had a blood test done 3 weeks ago and I still haven't gotten the results.. (Changing doctor) !

I recently had my u/s at 12w 6d. Everything was alright, but Im a bit concerned about my doctor.. she doesnt seem to be helping me in the best of times.. I was told by a close friend of mine (who happens to be a nurse) My next scheduled u/s should be 20w and no later then 22w.. my doctor tells me I can't go in til 26w! In my last u/s they found that I have hydronephrosis of the right kidney (meaning its just larger then the other kidney) left kidney is perfect.. shouldn't they be monitoring me closer? I think this doctor just wanted me to get out of the way for the day..

This will be my second baby I have an almost 5 year old boy. I have had 5 m/c since my son, the dr says i am 9 weeks and 1 day prego. I thought I was only like 5 weeks or so due to i spoted on sep 21st. The dr has me going in for a ultrasound tomorrow and i am hoping i am 9 weeks cause of all the m/c's. Also I wanted to know if anyone else feels like they feel the baby at 9 weeks cause i feel that way. i feel this weired feeling through out the day and i feel so different then when i was having my son.

I need help! I am in my 15 week of my first pregnancy and have yet to have an ultrasound or hear my babies heart beat! I am a little freaked out as I am also lossing a large amount of weight, my belly is not growing, and have yet to feel any movement.........is this normal??

Bianca the ultra sound technician got it right with my twin boys. She even put little arrows on the pictures all pointing at their tiny willies! Just in case we didn't know what we were looking for on the pictures. It was very funny! You could definitely tell that they were boys from the position they were in, and unless they each had 3 legs, they were absolutely 100% boys! You can see my pics on my page if you like! lol.

LOL... Lorna J.... My daughter looked like she had a squish face... sometimes it is just how they are positioned in the womb.. :-) As long as the Ultrasound tech didnt seem concerned I'm sure every thing is fine with baby. As for Ultrasounds being wrong? They say that it all depends on the ultrasound tech's experience, and position, and many other factors can give false guesses... And that is all it really is, an educated guess. I was told that my 8 year old daughter was 'probably' a boy. They didnt give me another ultrasound to confirm this. Well, we bought all boy stuff, and she was a girl. :-) To this day she is a trickster. I guess the only way we know for sure is on Delivery Day....

Just wondering if anyone has had ultrasounds before which predicited a certain gender and it turned out to be different at birth? i've been hearing alot of stories of ultrasounds predicting a girl and it turns out to be a boy!! lol

My baby looks like she has a huge upper lip in her 2D ultrasound and now I am freaking out! Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Everyone...I'm just curious to know how many ultrasounds one gets during a normal pregnancy or does it vary by your Doctor? Thanks!

I had an u/s at 6 weeks and will have my 10 week u/s in the morning. If my baby is this active O Boy I can only imagine how active it will be when its born.

Hi ladies. I am supposedly 16 weeks preg. and i still haven't had an ultrasound. is that a bad thing and should i press to get one? i don't have any insurance and im going to see a nurse on the 11th. do you think they will give me one, or even a doppler?

amandapmills - Many of those places will need a permission note from your doctor. Basically saying that it was ok that you were having these done. I only have two u/s but I paid for a 4D with my son at 29weeks. It was awesome because it wasn't for medical reasons. They just wanted good pictures of him. I'm thinking of doing it again with this one.

Alot of women dont know about this so I wanted to share with you guys!!! Most of us only get 2 U/S during our ENTIRE pregnancY!!! Well in my area where I live we have an U/S school and they are always needing volunteers for their students. I didnt know about this until my friend told me about them. So of course I called them up and volunteered. the U/S class lasted 1 hr and I got many pictures!!! So you might wanna google u/s schools in ur local area or call your hospital and ask them. Let me know what ya'll find out!!!!!!! amandapmills

yes, this happened to me with my last pregnancy I had something called a missed abortion. The baby stopped developing but my body didn't recognize it I guess you can say.What is even scarier for me was that I seen the heartbeat at 7w and a few days. When I went for my 10 w. checkup there was no heartbeat, ultasound confirmed baby died at 8weeks. I had no symptoms of miscarriage. But, I wasn't sick which isnt normal for me so I was all ways suspicious. Now, I'm 9 weeks with morning sickness and everything seems to be going well. At 9 weeks you should be able to see and hear a heartbeat follow up with your doc or another ultrasound..
