When is your anatomy scan?

sarahg8rsarahg8r member
edited January 2014 in August 2014 Moms

I had my second appointment and NT screening on Monday at 12 weeks and they scheduled my anatomy scan for March 10, which is 18 weeks! What is odd to me is that I won't be going back to the doctor for a 16 week appointment. She just wants me to wait until I'm there for the anatomy scan. Is that normal?

 

ETA - Also, she's never measured fundal height. I was thinking it may be because it's unneccessary since I've had an ultrasound at each visit so far?

Re: When is your anatomy scan?

  • I'll have a 16 week appointment (no u/s) and then a 20 week appointment with anatomy scan.  The scan will be scheduled at my 16 week appointment.  That's how it worked with DS too.  I never had a bunch of appointment dates on my calendar far in advance.

    We'll see how exactly this all works out since my 12 week appointment won't be until 13 weeks 6 days since it was cancelled this week due to snow.  I guess I'll just go back again 2 weeks later for the 16 week one.

    @sarahg8r - are you having the quad screen done?  That's done at 16 weeks which is the reason I had a 16 week appointment with DS.  I actually can't remember if I saw an OB or just went in for bloodwork.

  • @flip_flops no I'm not having the quad screening...mainly because it wasn't offered!

  • I'll probably have mine at 21 or 22. I had my '12 week' appointment today. I'm 13 weeks though. Scheduling didn't work out. I just go back on another month. We tried to schedule that but didn't have anything that worked so it'll actually be 5 weeks from today. We never kept to the proper schedule last time either.

  • 2/19 I'll be 15 weeks and it's elective (they say they can tell you as early as 14 weeks). It's my birthday (and a "milestone birthday" at that), so I wanted to do something special for myself.

    But, we won't run out buying anything until it's confirmed by our 20 week at the hospital.

  • I'm guessing mine will be around the last week of March or first week of April, but it hasn't been scheduled yet.  Currently I have appointments once a month.  My next one is next week and I'll be 13w 3d.  I usually just schedule one appointment at a time, at least while they are at this frequency.

  • I have another reg apt on Feb 19th, but other that stating it wouldn't be a problem to have the ultrasound before my April 5th wedding reception, nothing more was said about it. I'm so ready to have it scheduled! I feel so much more impatient this time around.

    As far as measuring, I think the only time I was measured before my 20week scan, my ob said I felt large. She measured and I was about two weeks ahead so she thought it might be twins. It wasn't ;), just a really big baby.

  • I had my NT scan on Wednesday when I was 12 weeks 2 days, and they scheduled the anatomy scan for the 26th of March when I'll be 20 weeks 2 days. I see my doc again on the 20th of February at about 15 and 1/2 weeks.

  • My appointments are scheduled every 4 weeks right now, I have my NT scan next Thursday at 13 wks and then my next appt will be 17 wks. I'm sure they won't do the a/s that early (I think I was almost 19 wks with DS) so it'll probably be at my 21 wk appt.

  • I have my anatomy scan 2/28. I also have my OB appointment 2/14. He sees me every 4 weeks. The anatomy scan doesn't count since no urine test, blood pressure reading, etc is done then.

  • I have my next OB appt on 2/12, and we will schedule the a/s then. I'm guessing it'll be the beginning of March though. I have to go to MFM for mine.

  • Well since my very FIRST appointment isn't scheduled until 13w, I'm gonna go ahead and say that the A/S won't be til like week 24 or so. F*ck Tricare. Sorry, I'm just a little angry about this.
  • My doctor does regular monthly appointments with me, and with the way those fall, I'm guessing I will have the a/s at 22 weeks, in May. I've got an appointment this week (10 weeks) and will have one around 14 weeks and 18 weeks. Unless they schedule me differently to get it closer to 20 weeks.

    I also have tricare and had my first appointment when I was 7 weeks. Then my 12week appointment. Tricare, from my experience, covers all regular check ups and two ultrasounds.

  • Right now, I have OB appointments every 4 weeks. They schedule the AS around 19 weeks. I do not have an appointment for it yet, they take the schedule one appointment at a time approach.

  • I have my 16 week appt at the end if February. Then I go on March 25th for my a/s and 20 week appt!
  • I'll be 16 weeks on Valentine's day, so B booked me a surprise private ultrasound so we can see baby :) we will probably 'find out' what baby is, but will remain a little skeptic until we have it confirmed at our next ultrasound.

    I also have tricare and have already been seen twice plus a dating ultrasound. I will also be covered for my regular monthly check ups and anatomy ultrasound.. OP, my office does visits every 4 weeks usually starting at 8 weeks. I have my 16 week appt scheduled and at that appt I will schedule the ultrasound at probably 20 weeks (though I'm hoping for 19 weeks!) it's worth noting, though, that the ultrasound is not done at my doctors office, it's not even in the same building, so I'm not sure if that plays a factor as to why some offices might omit a 16 week appt and some wouldn't?

  • I had my NT on Friday, Valentines day! Greatest gift to get to have an ultrasound that day and see my baby :) My 16 wk appt is on 2/28 and I will schedule anatomy scan then, which should be mid-March at 18 weeks. We can't wait!

  • I'll be 20 weeks on April 1st so probably sometime that week. I'll probably schedule it at my appointment tomorrow or the one three weeks from tomorrow. 

    I can't believe it's only 6 weeks away!!

  • I have my 18 week appointment on March 3rd and we will hopefully find out the baby's gender! Very excited anouth that . Then I go back two weeks later for the anatomy scan at exactly 20 weeks. Has anyone else been told that it lasts 40 minutes and I could be somewhat uncomfortable? :)

  • Our friend does our ultrasounds for free so she is scanning next Thursday 2/27 and again the Thursday after 3/6 and we will find out the gender March 14 with our families at our Gender Reveal Party!!
  • My 20 week appt/scan is on 17 March. I have the monthly appt (18 weeks) on 3 March. Anxious to get to 3 March and hear that heartbeat.

  • Mine is March 3 at 18w1d.  I think my last appointment was 2/7 where I peed in a cup, got to hear the heartbeat, and just chatted with my OB.  I was almost 15 weeks at the time.

  • The schedule here doesn't go that far out so it's not on the books yet but most likely first week in April. It seems sooo far away.
  • March 6th!!!! I'll be just over 18 weeks! I can't wait!

  • I just scheduled mine today for April 4th, exactly 20 weeks.  The doctor's office knows the sex of the baby already because of my MaterniT21 results but we are waiting until the a/s to find out.  That evening we are leaving for our babymoon in Sedona so it will give us something extra exciting to talk about while we are on the trip!
