Why don't they make an ultrasound more often in the hospital?

1. Because an ultrasound is expensive, and because it also takes time for medical personnel. After all, the majority of pregnancies proceed normally. Most children are born healthy, which is why multiple ultrasounds are only necessary if major or minor problems in mother or child are taken into account.
