When did you/will you have your a/s?

My midwife let me schedule my A/S for 19 weeks because I'm heading to CA for Christmas for 10 days.  And I turn 20 weeks on Christmas Eve. 

The office assistant who scheduled it said the ultrasound tech didn't like early a/s. 

Eventually,  it was scheduled at 19 weeks and I do trust my midwife that it's fine, but I'm having doubts.  I'm curious how common early a/s are, and how they have been going for people.

Re: When did you/will you have your a/s?

  • I will be going for 20 weeks on Jan 11 :)
  • I have my A/S scheduled for 19 1/2 with a perinatal specialist. It has been planned for a couple months now. Most people I know have theirs at 19 or 20 weeks so I think you should be just fine :)

  • Mine still isn't scheduled and it frustrates me. I will be 20 weeks on Monday. I go to the doctor on Thursday, and I am really hoping to schedule it then. I will be at least 22 weeks before it happens. I have some concerns, and the u/s would really put my mind at ease. 

    19 weeks doesn't seem that early. DS1 had his a/s at 19 weeks and they were able to see everything they needed to .

  • Mine was at 19 weeks. My Dr said he prefers them then. I don't see what one extra week could do...

  • I had mine at 17 weeks 5 days. During my first pregnancy, it was around 16ish weeks, I think. My doctor says anything 18ish weeks is fine.

  • My OB said any time after 18 weeks was fine. Mine is 18w2d because of the holidays and my husband's busy schedule I either had to do it then or wait until close to 21 weeks.... I didn't want to wait that long. Smile

  • I have mine today at 2. I am 18w1d. My doc said anywhere after 18 weeks is fine. I'm a nervous wreck!

  • Mine will be on Dec 31.  I will be 18 weeks 5 days.

     

  • Mine is on Wednesday and I'll be 17 weeks.  

    The 18-20 week window didn't work for us because I'll be 18 weeks the day after Christmas and the u/s tech is off, then because of H's leave we won't be going home for Christmas until after that.  So it was either 17 weeks or after 21 weeks and the Dr's office chose to do early rather than late.

  • I had mine yesterday at 20 weeks.

  • I was 18w5d this time around 

     With DS I think I was 17 weeks! 

     I think it depends on their equipment too. I had a level 2 u/s major hospital 

  • Mine will be at 19.5 weeks.  My doctor told me not to go before the 18 weeks mark or they'd just send me home until everything was more developed.

  • My ob's partner is letting me do it at 17.5 weeks so that I can know the sex of the baby for Christmas.
    The scheduler didn't want to put me on the schedule until after Christmas, so I had to go over and get the doctor to come tell the girl to do it.
  • I was 19 weeks exactly.  That doesn't seem early to me.  17 weeks seems early, and even 18 maybe, but mine have always been right around 19-21.

    I had the same tech for my 13 week NT scan as for my AS and she had mentioned  that they have to wait until you are far enough along that the baby is big enough for them to be able to see the heart chambers etc. that are too hard to see if you go in to early. Presumably she figured 19 weeks was fine, so I'm not sure what your office's objection was.

  • I will be 19 weeks, too.
  • Mine is on the 28th and I will be 21 weeks. I always was told anytime between 18-22 weeks was best.

  • I've heard it can be done any time between 18-22 weeks.  Even when done at 20 weeks they some times can't visualize everything due to movement or position, so worst case scenario is if its too early for certain things they'd have you come back in a couple weeksto complete it.

  • The techs at my OBGYN refuse to do it earlier than 20 weeks :(. I will be waiting until Jan 11th to get mine done!
  • Mine will be Jan 11 at 20 weeks

  • Mine is a week from today and I will be 18wks 1day.  My OB said 18-20 is fine.  I live in Boston and the clinic I go to has multiple offices all over the city.  They do the A/S at one of the clinics that offers fertility services, so my guess is the equipement is better so they can do them a little earlier than 20 weeks. 
  • 20 weeks the 1st week of January. They would have scheduled it for 19 but my insurance changes on 1/1 so I wanted to wait until we were back on the PPO.

  • My OB said anywhere between 18 and 22 weeks would be fine. 

    With my first I was 18 weeks, and DS measured 19 weeks and there were no issues seeing what they needed to.

    I'll be 19w4d with my a/s for this one on 12/28.

  • Mine will be at 21 weeks but usually they are at 20 weeks with my OB.  She will be on vacation when I'm 20 weeks so we decided to do it the week after she comes back.

  • My doctor likes to schedule them between 20-22 weeks. I'll be going in 2 weeks for my "review of systems" which I think is the same thing, and I'll be 20.5 weeks?

  • I scheduled mine for 17 weeks but since I was measuring 9 days ahead it was more like 18.5. My husband was the one reading the scans and he refused to look before 17 weeks.
  • I am going at 20 weeks 5 days on December 21st.

  • Mine will be at 19.5 weeks on 12/20.  The nurse said that it was fine, even though their policy is usually at 20 weeks.  I will also turn 20 weeks on Christmas Eve.
