Just wondering, I have had my morphology ultrasound (20 weeks) are there any others to get?

With a normal pregnancy they usually only do 1. Sometimes you can get another one but it is usually if something isn't right. Not all doctors are the same and some will give you another one. You may just want to ask your doctor if he/she plans on any more throughout the pregnancy.

I had one at 24 weeks but that was because they could not see the baby's heart clearly at the 20 week.Thankfully all was fine.
You will probably need no more unless you develop gestational diabetes and then they do ultrasounds near the end to make sure baby is not getting too big.
Unfortunately I am almost 30 weeks and have developed gestational diabetes so I will need a few more done.

Usually not, unless the doctor either 1) can't see everything they want to see, or 2) there's something they want to double check.
I had to get a second ultrasound after the 20 week one because my doctor couldn't see everything, but my baby was fine. (He's now a healthy 5 month old!)

My insurance company only covers one ultrasound unless there is a problem so I had mine at 20 weeks and I do not get another one unless it is absolutely necessary. I would check with your doctor and insurance company to find out.

Depends. I had 2 done would have had 3 done if my baby hadn't turned. The reason I had 2 were because I changed doctors when I moved from Iowa to Illinios and because my baby was in the breech position. I would have another one done if he hadn't turned when I went in for my last appointment at 33 weeks.

Sometimes they will do another one in the end to make sure everything is going correctly. Me myself I'v had 3 already one to check the gestational age one at 20 weeks and another becuz the dr and I are both hard headed and I had to prove him wrong.

I go to Stork Keepsakes..it's a place here in Massachusetts where they will give you ultrasound pics and make a movie of the baby for about $100.00

normally just a 20 week scan, but i had one at 12w5d to date it, 20wk scan, and 35w to check weight becase i measured big (turns out dr was just dumb and i switched for the last 5 wks)

Usually you will have others as you near term. Just to do checks on the baby. You wont get too many more though. good luck!

oh dont worry honey they will be all over you with that thing as much as they want, I was always nervous about the doctors office, but after the 15th vaginal exam i realized to futility of it.
