Early ultrasounds?

I keep seeing on my tracking apps that women are going in for their first ultrasound appointments at 5 weeks. Is this normal? My obgyn says they don't typically do the 1st ultrasound until 8-10 weeks. Do they ask for one? I kind of want to go in now because I've been a nervous wreck and it would be nice to know that everything is okay 😅 My appt isn't until Oct 14th!!
