1st ultrasound?!?!

Question

When do you typically have your first ultrasound? I called to setup an appointment and I was told my doc won't see me until 8 weeks and even then she usually doesn't do the ultrasound! I'm just wondering should I request to have one done earlier or is that a typical timeframe?

Answer

Thanks ladies! I'm so excited that I'm pregnant I just think it hasn't really hit me yet. I'm having a hard time believing it. I have a few extra prego tests left and I'm so tempted to keep testing just to be sure. I had 1 mc in 2013 so I just want to make sure everything is ok.

Answer

Yeah I got one at 10 weeks with my daughter (almost 6 years ago). My first appt this time around is at 6 weeks then every 4 weeks from there on. At 6 weeks you can hear the heartbeat. You don't find out the sex of the baby till 20 weeks.

Answer

I made an appointment today for my first ultrasound and it's not until 8 weeks as well! I'm also freaking out a bit as this is my first pregnancy but they were very reassuring and told me to call if I had any questions. You can always call earlier if you feel something might be wrong!

Answer

If you have concern about something like ectopic pregnancy that would mean you need a ultrasound earlier then let your doctor know.
