It Depends: Each pregnancy can be different and require a different amount of ultrasounds. Most Obgyns would like: 1. Early Ultrasound to confirm Due Date 2. 11-13 week US to screen for genetic conditions 3. 20 week ultrasound to check for fetal anatomy Other ultrasounds would depend on any maternal or fetal indications

High risk pregnancy: The usual and customary procedure for a 'normal' pregnancy is a 19-20 wk Ultrasound, the previous pregnancy must have been high risk to justify all those ultrasound tests that early. Just being older than 35 makes you high risk, so you need to talk to your OB and find out what's best
