It is not uncommon for doctors to recommend multiple ultrasounds during pregnancy, as they provide valuable information about the health and development of the fetus. The number of ultrasounds can vary depending on various factors such as the mother's medical history, any potential complications, or specific concerns that need monitoring. Generally, most women will have at least one ultrasound in their first trimester (around 6-12 weeks) to confirm the pregnancy, assess fetal viability, and determine gestational age. Additional ultrasounds may be recommended if there are any concerns or if further evaluation is needed. These can include anatomy scans around 18-20 weeks to check for any structural abnormalities and growth scans in later stages of pregnancy to monitor fetal growth and well-being. Ultimately, the decision to have multiple ultrasounds is based on individual circumstances and should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
