1st Ultra sound: Confirmation
2nd Ultra Sound: Diagnostic testing to try to identify birth defects, downs, etc (optional)
3rd Ultra Sound: Sex identification and a very thorough looking for defects and normal development (this was a long one, it was really fun)
4th Ultra Sound: I had terrible round ligament pain and I was determined it was more than that, I thought my liver/appendix or something was failing b/c the pain was nauseating and I spent a few days only in bed, it was awful! It went away at 26 weeks!
5th Ultra Sound: Due to the horrible round ligament pain my Dr. did a fetal fiber nectin test just to be double sure everything was a-okay. I tested positive for the test indicating that the cervix was beginning to get ready for labor. It was not! It was all a false alarm! We had to go to the hospital twice in 24 hours and do steroid injections, fetal monitor, and heart rate checks. The end ultra sound showed that the cervix was fine.
6th Ultra Sound: I think this was a double check of the length of the cervix for the fetal fiber nectin test, again everything was okay.
7th Ultra Sound: I believe at 32 weeks I was not measuring large enough from pelvic to the top of my belly. Then at 33 weeks I was still not measuring correctly so I had the 7th ultra sound, again, everything was okay!
