When?

Question

When did you get your first ultrasound? I'm 5 weeks and 4 days. My last pregnancy ended with a miscarriage at 3 months, with twins and I had problems so I had vaginal ultrasounds. When do I get an actual ultrasound?

Answer

This time i got mine at 6 weeks 4 days, i was scared it could've been an ectopic or a chemical. I lost my first baby girl at 19 weeks. Im now 27 weeks pregnant with a boy. I know 6 weeks 4 days is very early but it gave me peace of mind to know it was a viable pregnancy and i got to see a heartbeat.

Answer

Most doctors schedule between 8-12w, have you made an appointment

Answer

In the UK it’ll be around 12 weeks.

Answer

My first was scheduled for 10 weeks but I had it before due to spotting. This time around I’m having at 4w5d for “confirming pregnancy”. When I called to schedule the confirming pregnancy appointment I thought it would be just blood work but no…

Answer

In U.K. it’s 12 weeks unless you’re high risk or you pay privately

Answer

My experience under a midwife's care is that the first ultrasound is around 20 weeks, unless something is wrong or you need a dating scan early on to determine how far you are. (For my first pregnancy that was around 8 or so weeks)
I probably won't get one this pregnancy until the anatomy scan at 20 weeks unless something is wrong!
