    I think if you're sure of your lmp and not high risk, they usually don't do an early u/s, just the anatomy scan at 20w.  Could be wrong, though...

  • Me either! Like the previous poster said, because I was sure of my LMP and not high risk, my anatomy scan will be my first at 20 weeks!

  • Wow that's crazy? We have a dating scan then at 12 weeks they do the down test and other testing and then at 20weeks the scan to tell you what your having
  • I only got one this week because I opted to do a genetics test. Had I not, I wouldn't until 20 weeks either.
  • I'll have one at around 13 weeks then the anatomy scan at 20 weeks.
  • Depends on your obgyn and insurance (if you have it.)

    I've had two scans already, one at 7w6d and one at 8wd6.

    The first was to date the pregnancy because I had noooo idea how far along I was. The second was to determine if there was a heartbeat because I've had a previous miscarriage and my pregnancy with my son was high risk. But this pregnancy is going good so far, so my next scan won't be until the anatomy scan.
  • We went to a private ultrasound place and got a little peace of mind ultrasound. I'm so glad I did it!! I couldn't have waited. My first was supposed to be at around 18 weeks. Then a week later we got in a bad car accident and I got one in the emergency room so now I've had two at 12 weeks. I wouldn't recommend getting in a car accident though. The waiting definitely sucks!!
  • I'm not getting one until 20 weeks (we opted out of the NT scan). If you heard a heartbeat, that's awesome! 7 weeks seems like a long time, but it'll go fast. I'm all for only doing scans and tests when necessary, and in a healthy, normal pregnancy, waiting till 20 weeks is normal.
