I've already had 2 scans and im only in my 5th month. Starting to wonder how many are actually needed through the whole pregnancy. Dont want to do too many unnecessarily. how many did u have?
I asked the same thing because scans add up cost wise. My doctor said usually three essential ones, and only more if theres a reason. I planned my budget around those and asked her before any extra one. Dont skip the important ones to save money though.
Generally about 3 main ones, early dating scan, the anomaly scan around 18-20 weeks, and a growth scan later. But your doctor may ask for more if needed. Dont count and worry, just do what your gynac advises.
Typically a few key scans across the trimesters, but the exact number depends on your pregnancy. Some need extra monitoring, some less. The best answer comes from your own doctor based on your case, theres no fixed rule for everyone.
I had this doubt too, mine has done 2 so far and Im 5 months. Is that normal for everyone or did u all get more? I keep wondering if Im missing something.
