What do you think I should do???

Answer 1

Usually a doctor only refers you to the ultrasounds you need (which on average is about 2 per pregnancy, considering everything is healthy etc..)

But you can go for the private option, usually 3d/4d ultrasounds you don't need a referral for, it will just cost you extra money, that won't be covered by insurance, so basically out of pocket.

Answer 2

They will do an ultrasound around 20 weeks give or take a couple to see the growth and to find out the s*x of your baby. I do know that they are going to do more for you. Just when they will is the question. You will have one closer to the end of  your pregnancy to have the growth and fluid levels checked. I would just ask your doctor all they can say is no. The 4/d ultrasound is the greatest thing ever. If you can afford it then I would do it!

Answer 3

i have ultrasounds every two weeks because im having identical twins (so they need to monitor for tttts) i also got the ''80% sure'' but at 18 weeks.they can be wrong just remember that ultrasounds alone are not 100% accurate they do make mistakes so next time you have an ultrasound ask to see about the s*x.
