Repeat level 2 U/S??????

Question

so i had my level 2 u/s and all looked well....but the dr didnt get a great look at the face so he wants us to come back in 2 weeks, but he reiterated several times that nothing he saw indicated any problems, he just wanted to get a better look at a few areas since baby was stubborn. Said size etc all dated right and looked very good. is it common to have to go back when supposedley no problms were found? my quad screen came back totally normal.

Answer 1

I had an abnormal quad which is why I had a Level 2 US starting at 20 weeks, the first US came back normal but they still had me come back for US's every 6 weeks just to make sure baby was fine. I am now 37 weeks and just had my last US done this morning. Doctors do it just to be on the safe side, best wishes hun =)

Answer 2

Yes, some doctors will do this just to be safe, if they feel they didn't get everything they wanted the first time around. Don't worry, if he was concerned about something, he/she would have told you so.

Answer 3

yes it is. I was a frequent flyer with ultrasounds. They kept telling me he was too small and his percentage was to low(length versus size of head). I ended up going the the Perinatal Clinic for level 3's once a month and then monitoring and biophysicals every tuesday and thursday.

they just want to make sure the baby is still on track developing normally.
