Is having an anatomy scan at 16 weeks normal?

Question

I have an appointment in June for an anatomy scan but I will only be 16 weeks 3 days. I don't have a high risk pregnancy and my doctor says I'm low risk. I looked it up and I read on multiple websites that it isn't usually done until 18-22 weeks. I'm a little worried that it's too early. Has anyone had an anatomy scan at 16 weeks?

Answer

No the anatomy scan cannot be accurately done at 16 weeks you need to be at least 18 wks. Reschedule the appointment

Answer

Def too early. 18 wks is the earliest. I'd reschedule.

Answer

They did the nuchal translucency screening at 16 weeks and then the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. Maybe that's what they meant?

Answer

Doesn't sound normal. I had mine at 20 weeks

Answer

I've never heard of it being that early. I got mine at 19 weeks.

Answer

My doctor and the whole office does them at/ around 20.

Answer

My NT scan was at 12 weeks and my anatomy scan was at 20 weeks.

Answer

I had one at 18 weeks and I wish I waited longer, because I was early they didn't see everything they needed to see, so I got a bit nervous. And I had to go have another anatomy scan done at 20 weeks.

Answer

I had mine at 17 weeks but I am high risk and it wasn't at regular ob it was at perinatal.
