Scans

[EllaSW]

Is there any risk to the baby if you have scans frequently, e.g. every one or two weeks?

According to the NHS website there are no known risks. I live abroad and the standard of care here is a scan every month at minimum and it had no ill effects on DS.

@Chocolateaddict999that’s interesting - where do you live?

I would only be having what is medically advised eg what the NHS advises. I can't see any need for weekly scans

I’m in Belgium and I saw the gynaecologist once a month and there was always a scan.

I had weekly scans in the third trimester and quite regular scans from 12 weeks. I was assured it was all fine by the NHS and no ill side effects. I had my first (internal) scan at 5.5 weeks.

Had scans weekly with DD1 from 21 weeks due to a shortening cervix, and weekly with DD2 from 14 weeks up until 24 weeks with DD2 to check on the cervix, no issues or concerns raised for having them

No it’s fine, I’ve had weekly scans on the nhs from 6 weeks due to previous losses

No, it's fine. Standard here to have a scan at every appointment. I see the OB monthly, and then every two weeks from 30 weeks, and they give me an ultrasound everytime.
