A woman I know who was given 3
u/s in labour (to see where the baby was...) as well as countless others
through her pregnancy, was eventually told she had no option but c-sec for her
breech baby. When they cut into her, they sliced straight through her placenta
because NO ONE HAD PICKED UP SHE HAD COMPLETE PLACENTA PRAEVIA in all those
scans!
So yes, apparently a great
deal does depend on the skills of the careprovider. Major Melbourne hospital was
responsible for that.

Hi Lindsay,
At what gestation did the u/sound miss your
twins pregnancy?
Anyone else have a similar story?

I had ultrasounds
on the day of birth of my last two babies, I was overdue both times and had
to see Obstetrician. These were my 4th and 5th
children. Number 4 he said would be large. At least 9lbs.
He was 7lb 3oz. Number 5, I think he was remembering his previous
error and said this was not a big baby. He was 9lb 1oz. I have
little faith in USS. Keeping in mind that my twins were also missed on
USS and picked up on Abdo palp.
