I'm just wondering how many of you opted for wellbeing scans in your pregnancy.
Typically at my local maternity there's only your 12 and 20 week scans.
And each scan costs $150, and you get $90 back with medicare. So, still a $60 scan.
When I get pregnant again, I'd like to do some wellbeing scans. Around 28, 34, and 38 weeks.
Because of my last pregnancy I just want to make sure the baby is OK.
In my last pregnancy DD had severe IGUR, I had Oligohydramnios which is very low amniotic fluid, and placental insuffiency.
I just don't want it to be that the baby has issues and I don't know.
I'm going to get my OB to give me a referral for a scan around 13-14 weeks to go to Melbourne where the Ultrasound equipment is better to check for Gastroschisis. (bowels on the outside). The chances of it happening again are about 2-5%.
Is an OB willing to let me do more scans? My OB is generally fantastic, lol.
So, I guess the question is, after having a troublesome first pregnancy (which may have resulted in an angel being born), did you have more scans in your second?
