  • Seventeen weeks, though I was measuring a week ahead so that's why she was willing to do it then.

  • I havent gotten to that point in my preganancy yet but I was told 18-22 wks and to try to go on the later side than earlier so that it is easier to see all the organs in the fetus as well as a more positive look at the genitals...just what I was told but Im sure there are many who have found out all these things much earlier

  • There's a slightly higer margin of error at 16 weeks than if you wait two week and have it done at 18wks. And the error rate drops even lower if it's done around 20wks.
