I do not understand what you are saying. I live in the U.S. and I have health insurance that we pay a high price for. I have the right to request whatever I want, it is my money. I did not request an ultrasound in any of my pregnancies, I just called my OB to make an appt. when I got a positive pregnancy test and it was not mine, but my doctor's decision to do the ultrasounds. It is called a "dating ultrasound" with the vaginal probe. I do not understand what the fuss is about. Thank you.
