Anatomy Scan (20 week sono) at 17 weeks 4 days?

Today at my appointment, my dr. had me schedule my anatomy scan for my next appointment in 4 weeks. That will only put me at 17 weeks 4 days for my anatomy scan. Isn't this too early?

I'm no expert, but when my doctor's office tried to reschedule mine, they were like oh we can't make it any earlier because it has to be at least 20 weeks...maybe give them a call and just verify?

Hi Karen!!


I was told the Level 2 sonos are done between 18-22 weeks.
Im' not sure if the 3 days will matter?? maybe give them a call to make sure

Hi Dana! Yea, that's probably what I'm going to do tomorrow. We were in the parking lot and I wanted to go back into the office to double check, but Jim convinced me I didn't need to.

I had my scan at 18 weeks 1 days.

They told me the same thing about wanting it to be at least 18 weeks. Mine was at 19 w 4 d. Just ask... sometimes they scheduler doesn't quite realize where you are in your PG.

I see a high risk and go every two weeks. They started scanning me at 18 weeks and the official most detailed scan with the main doctor is at 22W3D since they want the baby to be a bit bigger so the can see everything clearly. I heard if you go too early they might make you come back if they can't see everything clearly so just to be on the safe side I'd double check.
