When do you get sonograms during pregnancy?

Typically, you have your first sonogram early on, maybe 6-10 weeks, to check viability and estimated due date. Then there's often one around 18-20 weeks for the anomaly scan to check baby's development thoroughly. Your doctor will guide you for others if needed.

Hahah, whenever the doc says! Honestly, it felt like every other month, but they're important. Especially when you're just trying to get through the day on 3 hours of sleep, those sonogram pics are the only thing keeping you sane.

My wife had them according to her doctor's schedule, especially since we had to manage her BP. Usually, the first one confirms the pregnancy, then a detailed one in the middle, and sometimes more towards the end. Regular checkups are key, along with a good diet.

For me, because of PCOS, my doctor wanted to monitor things a bit more closely, so I had a few extra scans early on. Generally, they start in the first trimester. It's best to discuss your specific case with your gynaecologist.

Usually, your doctor will schedule the first one quite early, just to be sure everything is okay. There's another important one around 5 months to check the baby's growth. Always listen to your doctor for the schedule, they know what's best.
