How many ultrasounds during pregnancy?
My friend just found out she's expecting and she's a bit anxious about all the tests. Can someone tell me, on average, how many ultrasounds a woman has during her pregnancy? Just trying to give her some idea.

In a standard uncomplicated pregnancy, you only need about 3 to 4 ultrasounds. Don't let private clinics force you into doing unnecessary monthly scans unless there is a medical issue. Plan your finances because each scan can cost anywhere between 1500 to 4000 rupees.
Normally doctors do 3 to 4 scans, like the early dating one, anomaly scan, and a growth scan. Along with these, eat soaked almonds and coconut water daily, it really helps with hydration and keeps the baby healthy. Just listen to your doctor and stay happy.
Usually, 3 or 4 scans are recommended to make sure everything is fine. Don't worry too much, just follow your doctor's advice and take care of yourself.
It is usually 3 to 5 scans in a normal pregnancy. Your doctor will tell you the exact schedule.
Typically, you will have around 3 main ultrasounds: the NT scan at 12 weeks, anomaly scan at 20 weeks, and a growth scan near 32 weeks. This is the standard plan in most private and government hospitals. No need to stress about getting extra ones unless your doctor advises it.
Nowadays, they do at least 3 or 4 ultrasounds, which is good to see the child's growth. In our time we didn't have all this, but now you must follow the doctor. Keep eating fresh fruits, drink milk with a little saffron, and don't lift heavy things.

I am in my first trimester and my doctor just did the first dating scan. I heard we need at least 3 or 4 scans in total. Do they do scans in the last month as well, or is it only in the starting?
