I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I've gotten mixed answers on this. Some people say I'll have one more before the baby is born and others say I don't need another one.

if your dr hadnt mentioned another one then you probably will not get one. IF this is the case then the only way you will have another one is if you start to have problems. My dr only performs one ultrasound on healthy pregnancies but there are some drs that perform them often or during high risk pregnancies. I am 34 weeks and have only had 1 and chances are i will not be getting another one. So i guess it depends on your dr.

your doctor will determin that.. If you need another one on their terms then you will. but if they dont think you do then they wont. some people only get 1 ultrasound with the pregnancy, some people can have many, it all depends, they try not to focus on ultrasounds much anymore..so unless your doctor at this point is worried about the weight of the baby or the position, you might not be getting another one. Unlike me i've gotten 4 ultrasounds and im 38 weeks pregnant. which i've heard is a good many amount of ultrasounds for just one pregnancy. but i had to cause they thought my daughter was small in size & weight gain..

Who says yes and no? Your doc? Every OBGYN is different. Some will do an ultrasound last minute to make sure your baby is in proper positining. Some only do like 2 through your whole pregnancy if not otherwise needed. I've had some problems with this pregnancy and have had quite a few... weekly BPP ultrasounds due to low amniotic fluid and biweekly measurments ot be taken due to an AC/HC discrepency. If your pregnancy is completely normal then you probibly wont have one until you go into labor IF your doc is the kind that likes to do one then.

It depends on your health insurance and your OB/gyn. Most insurance companies will not pay for more than one ultrasound per pregnancy unless you are high risk or there is a medical problem.
I had an ultrasound done when I was about 36 1/2 weeks along but it was believed my baby was breech (he was) so they needed to know how he was to be delivered.

Most people I know only had one around 20wks. I had 7 ultrasounds total but I was measuring big and they had to figure out why I was measuring big. So unless something goes wrong I don't see you getting another one.

I recieved one at 30 weeks and will not be receiving another one. If you're not a high-risk pregnancy..or your baby wasn't breech, you really don't need another one.

unless you have had a problem with your pregnancy, like a placenta previa or something else, they usually will not give you another one. there's no reason to.
