Dating Ultrasounds, is 2 too many??

Anyone know why ultrasound clinics in Ontario are hesitant to book multiple dating ultrasounds ? My family doctor clearly wants me to do one at 6 weeks and another at 9 weeks due to my history of miscarriages so I dont understand why the ultrasound clinics won't book me for a second dating ultrasound...

I don’t know what a “dating ultrasound” is.

If it’s to determine gestational duration and therefore due date, then I totally get it, because it has nothing to do with health - either for you or the baby.

If there is a medical reason, then it’s odd that there would be resistance.

If it’s medically justified, it’s covered by OHIP.

I had multiple early ultrasounds with both of mine. Because I had a history of 3 miscarriages between 6-12 weeks.
If your doctor is ordering it, then the clinic should be carrying it out.. Period. They need to be at least a week apart, 2-3 would be better, unless the first one suspects a miscarriage, then they'll send you less than a week apart to look for any evidence of growth.

At least that's been my experience. 🤷‍♀️

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
