My doctor doesn't want to give me my second ultrasound till 28 weeks. I had my first at 7 weeks..…

I thought the next one was the 20 week anatomy scan. And wasn't there another one usually at 13 weeks for down syndrome? I skipped that scan because I didn't have insurance at the time so I'm not really sure what it entails.

@nomli I Found Out The Gender And Down Syndrome with the blood test at 13 weeks. But didn't get an ultrasound. I asked when my next would be and he said 28 weeks and I thought that was far into the pregnancy given I'd deliver 12 weeks after.. everyone I know is getting there second at 20 weeks..

Do they know you want to find out the gender

@rachelc1993 I already know the gender

@mommyem_, oh yeah, I had just done the blood test too for that. They said it wasn't as reliable as the scan but I couldn't afford both 😩

Yeah, 28 weeks seems an odd time. Definitely ask. Every doctor is different but I thought the ultrasound schedule was the same for every normal pregnancy.

@nomli that's what I thought as well. I can feel her moving but I want to see how big she has gotten and my fear is to get an ultrasound so late and the gender be wrong. I'll definetaly ask for a sooner ultrasound

@mommyem_, then that’s why. And it depends on what you insurance covers. You may can get one sooner but will have to pay after pocket

If you already know the gender then you won’t get one at 20weeks that’s why you’ll be getting your next one at 28weeks and 35 weeks

@mommyem_, gender shouldn’t be wrong if you did the blood test. Boys and girls have two different chromosomes so it is 99.9999% correct.

But anatomy scans happen at 20 weeks so I would mention it to him!
