Are multiple ultrasound treatments (pregnancy) possible with the reason "previous miscarriage"?
Good evening,
A brief history: I was pregnant for the first time two months ago. Since I work for a family doctor, I called my gynecologist directly so I could show my boss a pregnancy certificate. I had to give blood there that Wednesday and pick up the results on Friday. I had a brief conversation with the doctor about being banned from working. The following week, on Thursday, I had light bleeding without pain, but I didn't think anything of it. Friday morning, I still had it. Since it was just before the weekend, I called my gynecologist to get it checked out. As I was undressing down there, I heard the following from my gynecologist:
"So you really need to calm down. You're here every week."
"Bleeding is completely normal during pregnancy; you didn't have to come for that."
"You only have the right to three ultrasounds, and one of them will be gone immediately!"
I was very confused, but since I was very nervous, I didn't say anything. When she looked down there, she said:
"These aren't light bleeding, they're heavy!" (For me, they were light… can one generalize something like that?)
Well, the ultrasound showed only an empty gestational sac, and then she suddenly switched gears and became very empathetic. Unfortunately, I had a natural miscarriage the following weekend, and I went to my follow-up appointment at that practice one last time. I don't think I need to say anything more about that. I'd like to change practices now before I get pregnant again.
My question now: How do you recognize a good practice? I've heard from many that they received an ultrasound and image every time. Others, however, adhere to the health insurance regulations.
- Can I simply ask openly over the phone whether the practice performs multiple ultrasound treatments during a pregnancy? Especially given my medical history, I'd be constantly afraid that something else might happen, and I simply couldn't wait that long for an ultrasound.
- Given my medical history or the miscarriage issue in general, could it be justified and thus require multiple ultrasound treatments? If so, the first question would be eliminated, and I wouldn't have to go to the trouble of asking about it.
Many thanks in advance..

So if that’s so important to you, you can buy an ultrasound package for 60 euros, you’ll get one every month.
The health insurance only pays the 3rd. Such an earlier exit is no reason to do more ultrasound examinations.
Some doctors want to keep up on number and make one every time. But these are few. It is not necessary, however. For even if they see that the heart is no longer beaten by ultrasound, what should they do? It is not possible to prevent a loss or miscarriage. And you can’t save the child in your stomach either. And the 2 large diagnostic ultrasound examinations can be done in week 12-14 (self-payers) and in week 20-24 (cassing performance), you can see malformations. In the other ultrasound examinations they only see if it is still there and whether it is alive and maybe if you have a hem atom or what is wrong with the mother’s cervical neck. But the child isn’t being examined.
yes some annoyed go on number safe, just, and I find for myself that is also “a number safer” whether it is examined or not. the package sounds really good, thanks 🙂
It’s not safe. Because you can’t do anything about it. You can also pick up Fetal Doppler for home and listen to your home every day after the heartbeat. What you mean is that you’re calmed for 4 weeks, and you know that it was still alive. But if it no longer lives, you will feel the miscarriage. My sister-in-law had a death birth 1 week before the release date. You can’t do anything, even in the end. You have to fight the fear and the worries. The problem
More frequent studies do not make pregnancy safer.
No, the baby television as a self-payer’s performance, i.e. ultrasound examinations that are not medically justified and are not part of the performance catalog of the statutory health insurance (GKV) (only the three standard U.S. appointments) has been prohibited since 2021.

It was offered to me this year, just in the 21 SSW. Only the 3D ultrasound is no longer available.
