    My ob doc just laughs when I tell him wat his measurments r and the heartrate every ob visit :)
  • i personally think that might be doing to much. maybe use a doppler to hear the heartbeat but an ultrasound every week? maybe every month if you wanted to ...but just my opinion. enjoy :)
  • Of your Dr knows and doesn't object then I would go for it! I wish I could get one once a week! Jealous!:)
  • Oh man I wish I had access to a machine cuz I would probably do it once a week too!! It would set my mind at ease when I worry here and there
  • I am high risk because of ten pound babies LOL.. my midwife sends me at the very end for a once a week ultrasound
  • I agree with @pukashell824 i wud use a heart doppler instead... my Dr yelled at me wen i told her i went for a 3D/4D ultra sound @ 17wks she told me that doing ultra sounds too often cud really be bad for the baby BUT if u let ur Dr know than hey! Enjoy ;)
  • I have to have an ultrasound done every week. In two weeks I will be having 2 in one week unless my Dr cancels the regular one.
  • my doc is fine with it he tells me what do u need me for then(lol) I think everyone deserves more then the one ultrasound they give. It can catch alot of things early on (myopinion).
  • It is not radiation, just sound waves, I can't imagine it would hurt anything...
