Early ultrasound??

Heather • wife & mommy of two
Okay so I went and got a confirmed pregnancy last week. They did blood work and everything. I haven't heard back yet to make sure everything is okay and they set up for me to come back and have an ultrasound plus full physical done at about 8 weeks. (My appointment is another 3 weeks away.) I had a miscarriage with my last pregnancy and I see a lot of couples on here go get their ultrasounds earlier than 8 weeks, especially if they've had previous complications-- so I was wondering if there was a way I could get an early one done as well? Do you think that's possible? I'm just so nervous and crampy feeling. I want to make sure everything is okay with the baby. Its placement and all. I'm calling tomorrow to ask the midwife but I wanted to get yalls opinion first. I'm officially 5 weeks and 2 days today.
