| What time frame/limit do other centers have for performing ultrasounds, such as through second trimester, not past so many weeks, etc.? |

Hi nursenelson,
Hopefully some other centers will reply to let you know what their variances are, but I'm sure they do vary based on the type of training they've undergone, whether from NIFLA or another type of training, the recommendations of their medical director, etc.
Does your center have a set limit on that?
Kind Regards,
Amy |

| We currently do 1st & 2nd trimester but I think some centers have a limit on how far they go in 2nd trimester. |

| I think so, too. Hopefully some other centers will reply here and let us know how they set those policies. |

| At my previous center the protocol is 6-8 weeks if ABM or ABV and then up to 24 weeks. We have based that on our state and close surrounding states and their criteria for performing abortion. (we are in TX but OK goes up to 24 weeks). Our DR. feels like anything above what must be done to save the baby is opening us up to risk and of course patients should be under DR. care asap. I hope that helps. |
