i want another sonogram?

Question

am 35 weeks pregnant and i would like to have another sonogram.i only had one, but they wont give me another..what can i do to get one, i just want to see my baby again, i want to make sure its a girl and not a boy, because i only had one and i was only 20 weeks and the baby kept moving so i dont think they were to sure.

Answer 1

You'll have to pay out of pocket for it, since there is no medical reason to have to get another one done. Or just wait the next 5-7 weeks out and you will be able to find out for sure what you are having without having to pay out of pocket for an u/s.

When I had my son, they tried at 18 weeks and again at 22 weeks and could never get a clear shot, I had u/s every 2 weeks but they could never get a clear shot as my son stayed on his tummy during the u/s. They took a guess it was a boy and so when delivery day came we felt it was a boy and had been feeling that way all along. But we were also open to if it was wrong. Well they were not wrong and we had a son, he just turned 1 yr old 2 days ago.

I am pregnant with twins now and at 18 weeks the tech could tell one was a girl and the other was copying my son being on its tummy. They tried again at 20 weeks and 22 weeks (I have incompetent cervix so get u/s every 2 weeks) and no real luck, they guessed it was a girl since 18 weeks to present. Just last week at 28 weeks was the tech able to get a shot of the goods. She double checked the other baby to make sure she wasn't seeing the same baby and confirmed that we are having twin girls.

Just wait it out, the baby will be here before you know it and most likely they guessed right. Mine did each time.

Answer 2

Most likely they are telling you no because your insurance won't cover it. If you offer to pay for it they will give you one. Also, you can get a 4d ultrasound (comes with a dvd and everything), you can look it up on the internet for providers in your area.... Again you will have to pay for it out of pocket. It ranges in cost, usually anywhere from 150-250$.
Very Best Wishes!

Answer 3

go have a 3D/4D one done. There are many places that will do those, they are not covered by insurance but it would be a way for you to see your baby and determine the sex for sure. You can get online and find one in your area and it will give the prices etc...most are between 100-250 dollars depending on the session and location.

Answer 4

I know for my insurance i was only able to get 2. My 8 week one, and my 20 week one. I know that now if i want another one i have to pay out of my own pocket. I just got the bill for mine from my 20 week visit, and it was 300$.

Answer 5

There is no way to push for another one. They will do it if they deem it medically necessary but you are already 35 wks and your baby will be here before you know it and you will know what the sex is. Having another ultrasound would be 100% that you could figure out the sex. Insurance won't cover unnecessary ultrasounds and good Dr's won't give them. Just wait it out. I know it is hard but time will go by fast.

Answer 6

Noooooo its no longer stupid i basically approximately cried while my checklist stated he could no longer get yet another sona finished for me by way of fact of my medical wellness coverage except i needed to pay alot !yet actual now at 28 weeks you need to get a three-d sonogram finished they are astounding!(figured if i become going to ought to pay i might pass each and each of how with it ) basically call around and ask in case you will come across a much less high priced place like babywave or a doctor that has a three-d device call around examine the telephone e book :D :D :D i think of there decrease is 30w its the main astounding factor ever you get 14+ 3-d photos a cd with the pitcures a dvd with stay feed infant's intercourse if needed its great to have yet its around one hundred forty-200 funds(here i dont understand approximately there).omg yet its wayyyyyyyy nicely worth it i seem decrease back at my little boys sonas and %the characteristics out (hes5m now) and its basically a great factor to place a face to a miricle image . basically undesirable factor approximately 3-d ...............it doesnt practice hair .... yet that did no longer rely lots for me he got here out bald as must be :D have exciting with the anticipation of infant on the way it is going to litterally basically approximately kill you in m9 hahahaha (or you will choose it might) solid success expensive! quickly you would be greater fearful approximately how contractions experience then getting your sona gram finished ITS ALL nicely worth IT

Answer 7

Offer to pay for it out of your pocket. They ususally cost anywhere between $120 and $200. They can only do ultrasounds that your insurance will pay for.

Answer 8

Well, unfortunately for you, wanting to know the baby's sex isn't a medical necessity. So unless you develop some complications, you're unlikely to get another ultrasound.

I guess that's not strictly true: you could pay for it yourself. (No one cares if you waste medical resources if you pay for them yourself.)

But one cautionary note: this late in your pregnancy, your baby has pretty well outgrown the available space. He or she is really squished, and you're not likely to get the definitive peek at the genitalia that you're hoping for.

Answer 9

I hate to say but a little white lie of you haven't been feeling the baby moving around as much as normal may be enough to get your doctor to give you another scan. Or you can fork out the money for a 4-d scan which is $100 to $150

Answer 10

You would have to pay out of pocket. Apparently your insurance won't cover more (most don't) so unless you tell your doctor you are willing to pay, it isn't going to happen. So sorry!
