Should I be worried

So I'm 22 weeks 4 days and had my usual ob gyn check up yesterday. My concern is with my Dr. I had a vaginal ultrasound very first visit which showed me at 6 weeks, fine. I had another at 15 weeks, very quick scan and we saw the gender. I had another yesterday and they double checked gender and did all the measurements and usual in depth stuff they do, we'll they want me back in 2 weeks for another checkup and ultrasound. I just found it odd because with my other 2 pregnancies I never had so many ultrasounds, and I'm scared my doc isn't telling me something? Which is extra confusing because she said everything looked good, fluid, size of baby matching perfect with my due date, everything. So I don't understand all the scans if everything is good. Are some Dr's just big on ultrasounds or should I validly concerned. It's hard to talk to her and ease my concerns cuz she always seems like she's in a huge rush and somewhat flaky (they have also been going by the wrong due date this whole time, my edc was 8-13 by missed period, but my accurate one is 9-23) anyone else go through this? Just scared cuz I am 31 which isn't crazy old, but I'm not as young as I used to be either lol kinda debating on finding a new Dr cuz even though she is very nice, I feel like she's just not all there, overly busy I guess.

Baby is a girl, I had them double check this last scan to make sure since they determined gender at such an early ultrasound. Nobody acted like there was a problem so I'm hoping it's just me being worried. My first 2 I used the same dr but I've moved since then and had to find a new one. I'm definitely going to get my concerns out next appt though.

I know after they did the ultra sound that went into depth of the anatomy of the baby they had me come back because they couldn't get a decent look at my son's spine and nasal cavity. I went back and everything came back normal. Also my dr pretty much had me do an ultrasound almost every visit until I got past 32 weeks. I am sure everything is fine! :)

I would talk to the doctor. That seems kinda odd.

Is your baby a boy? I know boys sometimes have an enlarged kidney-completely normal. They will just do a recheck to make sure everything is growing OK. The Dr's usually don't say much because it's up to the radiologist to give the report not dr.the Dr will call back with results after speaking with radiologist.
