27-2-2009 - Give Me An Ultrasound!!

My mood while writing this blog:
sad

Ok I went to my 30 week dr. visit on yesteday. I have not had an ultrasound since my 18th week. I ask the doc when will my next one be? and she tells me that there will be no more unless they feel that there is something wrong. I get so jealous when the ladies are talking about how much their babies weigh, what the baby looks like, the last time I saw mine she looked like a lil jelly bean. I wamt another ultrasound. Then she said well you can have one for $425.00.I wanted to pick her up by her scrubs and throw her across the room. I just want to make sure everything is develping correctly. Making sure everything is ok, It's been along time since I've been preggo and Im kinda nervous, just ease my fears doc.

I hear ya there woman you can try calling around to other places that do these 3D and 4D u/s and they are pretty resonable if you want to go that route that is

i don't think you should worry much. i wouldn't advice switching docs now this late into the pregnancy coz your doctor knows you and baby well. he will be the best person to deliver the baby....
$425 is abit toooo much to spend on an U/S so if you can't find a cheaper place, please just try to enjoy your last weeks knowing you will get to see the real version of baby verrry sooon!!

Usually they are paid for by insurance based on medical necessity. If there is not a medically necessary reason to do an ultrasound, then they don't do one. Some doctors have a machine right in their office & will take a peek at the baby because there is really no additional cost in that. You could check into going someplace private & having a 3D ultrasound done. I think they are a lot cheaper than the $400+ that you were quoted by your doctor's office.

I only had 1 with each of my first 2 children and I had a bunch with Nicholas because I lost a twin & was such high risk

That happened to me when I was pregnant with my son. I only had one ultrasound and they wouldn't give me another one. I had to switch Dr's just to get another ultrasound. They can give you one if they want too. It's all depends on the practice.

I have not had an U/S since week 18 either and I am in my 33rd week. I asked the Dr. the same thing and he said no more u/s unless he feels one is needed.I guess if something was wrong with baby they would have seen it in the 18 week u/s. Take care and try not to worry too much:) Have a nice weekend!
