   So far 5 I think: 
 7 wks
 13 wks - NT
 14 wks
 19 wks - anatomy
 20 wks
 25 wks
 
 Actually 6. The only reason had so many is because I have an ob and he does a scan every appt.

   I've had 4 - one at about 9 weeks in a little provincial hospital in China, I went to try and get IV fluids for MS and they decided a scan was needed. I didn't see anything though, and couldn't read the report. Others at 12 weeks, 20 weeks, and 21 weeks. 20 week scan was incomplete due to positioning of bubs, so had to go back a week later to check her heart out.
 Have been offered another scan, but have declined as I don't think it's necessary. I'm afraid if they tell me what position bubs is in, or how big she is I'll freak out!

   I had at least 30 with my twins (had TTTS) but they were needed & it saved their lifes so I don't think you should worry about how many you have I'm sure they won't harm your bubs.

   So far I've had one at 7 weeks (dating), have another one next week at 9w (follow up to check everything is ok), NT at 12-13w, anatomy at 18-20w and probably a few (read lots) others as they are twins...

   I had a scan at 12 and 18 weeks then once a month untill about 30 weeks then once a week for the last 7 weeks to check for twin to twin transfusion (very common with identical twins) and also Esme had a heart murmer for a couple of weeks (also really common) which they kept an eye on. Both bubs were really heathly and scored 9 & 10s    I was so freakin' over scans after the first 4 or 5 though. With twins they take about an hour.
