according to my GP that is.
I am 21 weeks tomorrow and due to administrative cock-ups, I now have no anomaly scan arranged.
I have refused all other tests despite being 42. I wanted the scan because I have a high risk of my baby having Down's Syndrome purely based on my age. There are issues with where I will give birth and I want to ensure that if there are any known problems I can plan as much as possible in advance.
Anyway, my GP's comment has thrown me somewhat. DH has rather negatively interpreted it as a need to find out any problems before official viability is reached presumably so that a "problem" could be "sorted more easily". (He shares my view of not considering termination especially for Down's Syndrome BTW)
Could this be it? Or could there be a medical reason why an anomaly scan can't be carried out later. I was thinking lack of meaningful data for example.

There's no point having a "20 week" anomaly scan after 22 weeks ...
