There seems to be a range of 18-21 weeks for anatomy scans. With DS1 and DS2 they were at 18 weeks. With our third pregnancy, it was scheduled for 20 weeks, but we didn't get that far. This time, it is scheduled for 19.5 weeks (still 2 weeks away).
When was your anatomy scan? Same for each of your children?

17 weeks at MFM for all of mine. Then they scheduled another one 4-6 weeks later.

19 or 20 with my daughter. 18 with this baby and I feel like it was so early, even though they assured me they could see everything.

I will be 17 weeks 5 days, but they prefer 20 weeks. I scheduled it and they didn't ask how many weeks so I scheduled it a little early to find out for valentines day gender reveal

Around 18 weeks both times. That's the last ultrasound that I get though, so I almost wish it was a little later?

My first was 21 weeks and my second was 19 weeks. They do it whenever you are due for an every four week appointment in the 18-22 week range.

Just over 20 weeks with LO #1 and likely 20-21 weeks with my current pregnancy (haven't scheduled yet). Last time they thought they saw something that resolved by 21 weeks so I'd rather wait this time.

20 weeks for my first two. It was at 19 for my third, but they'd also pushed my due date back a week by then.

20 weeks with DS and 19 weeks with DD. I wanted to make sure we'd be able to see boy/girl parts so I went a little on the later side, but waiting 20 weeks with DS was torture, haha!

For the first, I think it ended up being at 22 weeks only because we moved cross country right around 20 weeks and it took some time to get my records transferred to the new office and get me scheduled.
For this one, it was 19w6d. The office they sent me to for the ultrasound insists on doing it at precisely 20 weeks; I don't know why. 20 weeks was a Saturday so we did it the day before.

21 weeks DD
20 weeks DS
With DS we did an elective gender scan at 16 weeks

16 weeks and again at 20 weeks. In NYC almost everyone I know has had two per pregnancy, always in that range.

Mine was almost 22 weeks and I was annoyed that it was so late.

20. We also did an elective ultrasound at 16 to find out the sex. I'm impatient

@winniebee: for DD I had two. one at 19 weeks and one at 21 weeks.
For DS I believe it was at 20 weeks

20 weeks first time, 21 weeks the second time. Standard is 18-21 weeks and usually comes down to scheduling.

It's routine at my practice to do it at 22 weeks. With my first, that was a holiday week so I believe I was 23 weeks for my scan.

19 weeks and then a quick follow-up scan at 21.5 weeks because they missed a measurement during the first scan.

My practice recommends an early scan at 16 and then repeat/more intensive look at 20, so that's what I had with lo1. With this pregnancy I was out of town at 16 weeks so had them at 17 and 21

Both 16 and 20 weeks.
We had an early one since I am at higher risk of Trisomy and monsomy 18 and 20. Then they did another (I guess more complete?) one at 20 weeks.

20 for my first, 18 for my second but they ended up having to redo it because it was too early to see some parts of the heart. They repeated it at 22 weeks.

20 weeks 5days for the first two. Third hasn't been scheduled yet—I'm 14.5 weeks

18 for #1. My new OB schedules between 18-22 but I'm going to try to get it scheduled for 18 because I'm impatient

The practice I saw for my scan scheduled them in the 21st week, and only on certain days of the week. They also scheduled me by LMP rather than the dating I knew was correct from charting (and that matched my early ultrasound dating and the dating for my nuchal translucency sono). So, I was 21w5 or 21w6d by LMP, and the tech clearly annoyed that I was actually 23-something weeks and some things were harder to see/measure.
