I am in Canada so all of them are covered. So I think most of them are about risks.

Thats why.

All the ones I had with Savannah and Bev were risk wise except for the normal 2. Only got one with Morgan since we found out his gender in the one with no issues and he was healthy

I'm in Canada and all my pregnant friends/family members have seem to have had one every few weeks lol

I had a bunch. The first with Samuel were at 9 weeks because I almost miscarried and they were trying to check the placenta (it was literally hanging by a thread). Obviously he's okay, but they were doing them pretty often to keep an eye on his development, the reattachment, etc. Both of my kids had them weeklyish - biweekly in the last trimester because I had lots of early labor stuff and they were checking fluid levels and things.

medicaid/medical will cover one or two only unless their is risk involved. then its at the doctors discretion
