Sonograms as : scheduled are fine, as stated. Prenatal visits with your doctor are separate issue, usually see your OB doctor every 4 weeks, from 6 - 28 weeks and then every 2 weeks till 36 weeks, then weekly till delivery. However, this can vary with locations and caregivers, so talk to your doctor about recommendations.
