I would love to not have to have so many U/S.....

With DD I had an early dating scan as the MW couldn't find her HB for more than one or two beats, another scan at 9 weeks when I had a bleed, 12 weeks scan, and then at most appointments due to bleeding, 20 week scan, amniotic band, ensureing clear movement for bubs, polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid). We had alread chosen to have the 3D scan, which was amazing, at 29 weeks and we got brilliant photos due to the polyhydramnios.

This pregnancy I was really hoping for a smoother run, I was only planning having the 12 and 20 weeks scans, but I have had so many already and so many more booked in

At 15 weeks I have already had 9 scans, due to loss of twin, bleeding, cervical shortening and length being constantly monitored as I am already "primed" , Placenta location, NT scan and Prolapse. I am booked in for scans 3 more scans by 24 weeks, and if there are any changes to my cervical length and any indication of growth restriction, there will be many more. Unfortuntaly even though this is not what I would prefer, but to make this pregnancy last as long as possible and keep bubs as safe as possible it is the only way.

So for us it is trying to prevent PTL or risking the life of our bubba.

So even though my preference would be to just go with the 12 and 20 week scans, it isn't an option this time unless we want to put our bub at risk, just too many complications
