    No, but my anatomy scan was at 16 weeks.  Just what the MFM preferred to do. Did they say what the scan was for?

    I had a 2nd level scan at 16 weeks in conjunction with an amnio as we pursued what turned out to be a false positive prenatal DNA screening result.

    They did a 2nd level at 16 weeks, because they can see many of the organ structures and the lymphatic system has started working at 16 weeks.

    I still had a 20 week (18-22 weeks) anatomy scan, because at 16 weeks the heart is not big enough to see all of those structures.

    I don't know why they would suggest you do a 16 week scan between your NT-scan and your 20-week anatomy scan unless there is some other abnormal screening result.

    It's not for me.  The girls on the October board were talking about it and I'd never heard of there being another screening.
