Answer

Theyll likely try to listen to the heart beat at your first appointment but it is common to not be able too hear out until baby ascends from above your pubic bone after week14, they'll measure out on the ultrasound of they can too :)

Answer

I had my first appt at 10 weeks and heard the heartbeat with a Doppler at that appt. I didn't have an ultrasound till 12 weeks and only got that one bc we opted in for the Nuchal Translucency scan.

Answer

I had mine at 12 weeks but as the baby was measuring a week smaller I had to go back again at 13 weeks for measurements and testing. With my son I was 12 weeks. I heard the heartbeat briefly with the first ultrasound with my son and both ultrasounds with baby no.2 ☺

Answer

I had one at 8 weeks 5 days, BUT we thought I was 11 weeks 2 days. I ovulated pretty late apparently, ha!

It's normal to not have a first appointment until after 10 weeks.

Answer

Most docs don't see you to 10-12w so don't feel you are behind. Depending on your doc, it could be around 12w. That is when my doc does first typically if there are not complications prior....

Answer

I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks, 9w5d and I go for another in a few days, I'll be 13w5d. I haven't got to hear the heartbeat yet. I got to see it both times. I'm looking forward to hearing it on the 8th!
