This will depend on whether the pregnancy is risky or not. For women with a normal pregnancy, it is usual to do one ultrasound scan per trimester. Each one will provide different information, but it is important that these ultrasounds are done in the right week of pregnancy.

On the other hand, if the pregnancy is at risk, some specialists recommend a monthly or bimonthly ultrasound. In this way, the pregnancy is perfectly controlled so that complications do not occur.
