I think you have to wait at least until your 20 weeks along

I think your doctor decides when you get an ultrasound and how many you get depends on your insurance. I only got 1 (i wish I could have more) and it was at 18 weeks.

Depends on where oyu are from or if you are high risk or not.

At my hospital we have them automatically at 12,19 and 32 weeks and I had 2 extra ones at 5 and 9 weeks because of 2 previous miscarriages.

At 5 weeks, he was a blob, at 9 weeks I could see a bit more (his shape and stuff) at 12 weeks I could see him as a person, 19 weeks found out it was a boy and 32 weeks was great, got to see what he'd look like and he did look like the u/s when he was born!

I had several of them but that was because I was high risk. It is all up to your doctor

Yeah, I think it definately has a lot to do with your doctor and insurance. I got my first at 9 weeks (may 5) and i'm having a second one at 17 weeks (june 29! I'll see if it's boy or girl!! So excited!) and the doctor said that i'll prolly have one more at 25 weeks. But i've heard that some women only ever get one so I think that it just totally depends.

Pretty sure it depends on your doctor (how many they feel you need) I think 2 is the norm. Anything more requires a special reason. Also depends on what your insurance will cover...
