Today I scheduled my Maternal Fetal Ultrasound. In my head i'm thinking it's to find out what the gender was. I've had my heart set on the weekend of Thanksgiving. That would put me into my 17th week.. well, the person I spoke to on the phone was really really pressing for December 12th... that would put me at about 19 weeks almost 20. She expressed to me that I she might not be able to tell me much about the baby, including gender. I explained to her my need to have the ultrasound the week of Thanksgiving, due to some other family matters. My date is scheduled for November 23rd. Does anyone think this is too soon? I am looking for some positive confirmation I made the right choice! haha.
Thank you! Any help is most welcome.
Re: Week 17th or Week 20??
Why do you care if your anatomy scan is the week of Thanksgiving?
Personal, I would want mine to be scheduled for when the doctor thinks they have the best chance of getting the information they need. (which is generally around 20 weeks) The purpose of the AS is not to tell you the sex, its to make sure getting is developing as it should, and to look for any problems.

dont get me wrong, it's exciting & fun to find out. but when i went for mine (lurking from March2016), my main focus was making sure baby was still developing normally & was healthy. finding out he was a boy was just the cheery on top of the cake.
So at 20ish weeks my OB is having me go to a hospital to have a fetal echocardiogram to see the blue and red blood flow.
With both babies I didn't ever care to know boy or girl.
I see no reason with it being done now.
That being said, if it is unsuccessful, check out the ultrasound places in your area... There's one by my house that will only charge me $50 for gender ultrasound
