I've switched doctors 3 times during this pregnancy, I've only had 2 ultrasounds. One at 12wks, and another at 22 wks. I am now 28wks and was told I wouldn't get anymore unless there were complications. I think it all depends on how many ultrasounds your insurance will cover. I could get another one if I wanted too just to see my baby but I would have to pay out of pocket.

I had an us scheduled for July 10 for the anatomy scan with the old dr so I believe I'm still due for one.

Oh I'm sorry for your MC.
Yeah my next appointment is June 18th & hoping to get a sneak peak at the baby.. I'll be 15w3d .. that's when I'll get my insurance card.. they told me that they would discuss going to another ultrasound place at the June 18th appointment so well see if I decide to switch.. its cause they only deliver at one hospital which I do not like.. that's why I wanna switch ob's

I just don't like the staff at the old ob. They are just always in a rush. They never ask if I have questions or concerns. At one point he didn't even put my info in the computer when he did the ultrasound so I just have the pic and no proof of date name or size.
