22 Weeks Pregnant -hoping For Ultrasound Posted: 12-04-07 01:29am
I've had A LOT of issues with my insurance
& been through a lot of hell, really
with my doctor's office... Up until this
point, we've been seen in a nearby clinic,
in the emergency room once, & in
L&D this past week. Finally now that
everything is resolved, we have a doctor
& an appt!! I guess it took going into
pre-term labor for them to realize some
things. I have my 1st doctor's appt. this
Friday (12/07), I'll be 22 weeks
pregnant.. & we really want to see our
baby! Does an ultrasound get scheduled by
my doctor -or will my doctor more than
likely send me in for an ultrasound right
after my routine appt? & do you think
she'll do the painful pap smear, that she
already did just last week when I was in
the hospital?

I am 21 weeks now and have had 2
ultrasounds by my doctor, and he also
scheduled one at the hospital (they have
better equipment). The one at the
hospital was at 18 weeks, and he wrote it
up to check the size and age of the baby,
and added anatomy to it so I could find
out what it was. If he had wrote it up
for just anatomy my insurance wouldn't
have paid for it, but since he wanted a
confirmed due date and stuff they will.
Weird. I had the pap and the vaginal
ultrasound at 6 weeks and my doctor said I
wouldn't have to do that again until I was
36 weeks or around there.

They almost always do the big ultrasound
around 20 weeks to check that the baby is
developing properly, so I'll bet you get
one. I had my big u/s at 21 weeks.
