Ultrasound Scans Three Days Apart?

8 replies

SuperNoodley · 22/02/2019 21:32

Hello All,
I'm looking for advice/previous experience if I may? Due to previous issues, I have decided to get the Harmony test (which also requires a private scan to confirm dates) instead of the NHS nuchal screening during my pregnancy. Didn't realise that I still had to have an NHS dating scan in order to receive care from the hospital. These scans have ended up being three days apart at 12w 5d & 13w 1d.
Is this likely to be okay? I'm aware ultrasounds aren't like x rays but would like to do some research before I commit.

Many thanks

Honestly, an ultrasound is NOT harmful.

You know bats use the same "technology" to find their prey and and navigate around objects? It's the same thing. It's just sound waves! Free your mind of worry :)

It will be fine. I had quite a lot of ultrasounds throughout the first/second trimester, sometimes days apart due to bleeding issues.

By the time my lo is here I will have had 12 scans at least (high risk pregnancy). They are harmless dont worry x

It's sound waves. It's completely harmless.

Thank you all for the reassurance, I realised I'm probably fretting too much about all of this. Am trying to take it all in my stride a little more now :)

I had almost weekly growth scans in 3rd tri and some weeks would be towards end of week then next towards the begining. So sometimes ended up only being a day appart. It was fine and sure if issue they would moved them further apart.
