anatomy scan 18weeks pregnant?
Just had a quick question I have had a few problems 3miscarriages and some spotting during this one. But my baby is a little champ and is growing very well ..I bought myself a at home fetal doppler just to ease my mind
and i hear that heartbeat all the time well i only do it once every other day because i don’t want to over do it .But anyway my doctors apt is on the 18th i will be 17weeks and 2days ..my last apt the nurse told me my doctor wanted to do a anatomy scan at 18week…Does this mean he will give me an ultrasound on the 18th or bring me in a few days later when i hit 18weeks?
Yeah they have ultrasound rooms in their office 2 of them
I have been in both LOL i hope he does it this week rather then next week lol im dying to know so i can buy some baby things. The nurses are very sweet and everyone up there knows i worry so they give me a play by play of everything that is going to happen next including all blood work and stuff
If ultrasounds/dopplers was dangerous to our children doctors would not use them and tell us that its safe. Sorry but im going to trust my doctor and nurses more then i will a website

Hmm, an anatamy scan is usually done at 20 weeks, however more importantly please do not use a doppler they are dangerous, especially home ones. Please research into this. Here is a list of sites you might be interested in looking at http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=421151867561. Oh dear, you should also look at where doctors/nurses get there money from, many of those websites are from case studies and health organisations.
I suspect they will bring you back when you’re actually 18 weeks
If your doctor does ultrasounds on the premises, it’s possible. Most wait until 20 weeks though, but if they said 18 weeks that may bring you back a few days or even week later since youll be 17 weeks and 4 days at your next appointment.
it’ll be at 18 weeks even later as the later the more accurate
