Anatomy scan/ Gender:Ladies due around or on 4/18

twinklemoon · November 2013

I am due on 04/15 and they are suppose to call me in the next two weeks for the 2nd Level Ultrasound around the 20th week. Its seems to be normal here in California. My brother who had a baby like 1 year ago, told me that he paid like $35 buck for one that you can have the whole family go and see and that they give you the pictures on a DVD. It would be a 3D. I can't wait to find out either. I still have my worries. I'm 17 weeks, but I always have fear.

I'm due on 4/18 as well!! But I've been sticking with my original EDD of 4/11 because I have C-sections, so the baby will be here the time of my original EDD anyway.

with my last OB they scheduled my anatomy scan for the Monday of Thanksgiving week. But I've since switched doctors so I don't have one scheduled yet, although I will know on Friday at my next appt.

the thing I LOVE about my new OB is that it's a women's health doctor, they do all ultrasounds in house, which means I don't need to go to the local hospital or ultrasound clinic which are both further away from me.

I'm due 4/19 and my dr is letting me have mine on 4/26... I will be 19+ weeks. She told me between 18-22 weeks.

I'm due 4/16 and just scheduled mine for 12/3 (a day before 21 weeks). We aren't finding out the gender though so it isn't quite as tough to wait.

rbrouillard · November 2013

I'm due 4/10 and have an anatomy scan 11/15 but don't want to know the sex. I will be 19wks 1 day. The date was chosen by the perinatal office where my doctor has patients go.

hordol · November 2013

My OB office doesn't offer elective ultrasounds at all. I don't think they even do the anatomy scan unless you are high risk (when I tried to schedule mine, the other doctor in the practice and nurses seemed surprised that I was doing one, but my doc told me to because I've had some complications.)

EDD 4/20 and it was like pulling teeth to get them to put the order in for the week of thanksgiving. I pretty much had to beg I will be 19 weeks then I don't see what the diff is doing weds the 27th as opposed to mon the 2nd On a positive note one of my good friends will be our ultrasound tech for our scan so we are super excited about that.

I'm due April 19th and I'm having my AS on December 5th! My DH and I decided to do the Panorama test and found out we were having a baby girl on October 24 (had the test done on October 10th)! I would do the elective scan if you really want to know! $100 is a lot but think what you spend money on that you don't even think about! Breakfast, lunch, dinners, shoes... All of which you can limit for a bit to spend the money on the scan!

I would have been team green if DH wasn't so .. I must know if I made a boy!!!! Haha so it's a catch 22 with me with knowing vs not!!

Dixon813 · November 2013

EDD is April 21 and A/S is November 26 (I'll be 19w 1d) I see my OB for regular appt on the 27, and she wanted me to have my A/S by that appointment

Mport90 · November 2013

I will be paying 680$$ for my 20 week u/s. I will be 19 weeks on the 18th that's when I'm scheduled.

JessieAlbin · November 2013

I think it is just a little silly to pay extra money to find out a few weeks early... Save that money and buy something adorable for the nursery with it!

Also due on 4/18, we have our anatomy scan on Dec. 5. Waiting isn't fun but we're all waiting to meet our LO right so might as well get good at waiting patiently!

tidymonster · November 2013

Due 4/14, a/s scheduled for 11/20. I'll be 19w2d I think? My office does them 18-22 weeks - my 20 weeks is the week of Thanksgiving, and I can only do appts on Wednesdays due to my schedule. They said they would do it at 19 weeks so the tech didn't have to be there the day before Thanksgiving - she has to travel to the other side of the country. My OB appt for that week is immediately following; the office does their own ultrasounds.

rmikish · November 2013

I'm due 4/11 and my anatomy scan is November 21st. The way my OB explained it is that finding out the gender is fun and all, but they are actually looking more closely at major organs, which need a couple more weeks to develop fully to ensure they can see any issues

I know, it's hard to wait! But not much longer now!!

emanresu14 · November 2013

I guess I'm lucky! I just had OB appointment today (due 4/13) and she scheduled me for next Wednesday on the 13th. Super excited!

RedBird11 · November 2013

angelaluisa · November 2013

mickany · November 2013

Mine is November 21 which is also my birthday! I will be 19 weeks, doctor likes to do it 19-22 weeks

jjwalker1207 · November 2013

I am due 4/18 my dr would of looked at 16 weeks but the machine was broke so I have to wait til 20 weeks, I am waiting an extra week so my hubby can come so its dec. 6th

Bun in the oven 2011 · November 2013

I'm due 4/1 but my dr will not do an A/S until at least 20 weeks and I don't have mine until 21 weeks.

myschlove · November 2013

I'm due 4/19

We had an unplanned ultrasound at 15 weeks for medical reasons and she said it was a boy

I'm excited but I'll have more faith in it after our 20 week ultrasound!

They explained that the reason they don't do it before 20 (our policy as well) is because they are not just checking the gender, there are other things they are checking that need to be developed (spine, organs, etc). Plus unless there's an issue, insurance wants you to wait!

I know waiting is hard!

mrsstillotson · November 2013

I am also due 4/18. Originally my dr wasn't going to due the AS until the first week of dec due to holidays and my dr being on vacation. However I asked the girls if I could do it a week early so I could go Black Friday shopping so thy said yes, lol! The big thing is if its done too early then they might not see everything clearly. That might leave you worrying for weeks until baby grows that something is wrong when baby was just too little and it costs the dr because they have to bring you in for a second US.
