To clarify, my OB doesn't do ultrasounds in her office, I have to go to a radiology lab, which I don't mind. My last pregnancy was medium risk and I did have to go for extra ultrasounds (my first one was 8 weeks). Waiting till week 12 for first ultrasound seems too long.
I didn't get a 8 week ultrasound in 2007 with my first either.
