Why am I not having an ultrasound?

Question

When i was 5 and a half weeks my doctor booked me in to see the midwife in 2 weeks time (I'll then be 8 weeks). She never booked me in for a scan. I thought everyone gets an early scan around 8 weeks?

Answer

Not usually. First scans are usually at 11-12 weeks.

Answer

In the UK on the NHS you get a scan at around 12 weeks and one around 20 weeks unless there's something wrong.

Answer

I had a scan at 12 and 20 that's it now...

Answer

I heard people  say that but in my case my doctor  set me up for  ultrasound  at 5 weeks  then another  one  at 10 weeks  and I upcoming  on in 2 weeks  which  I'll be 14 weeks  then maybe  it's just the doctor  but everytime  we have seen my doctor  she has given me a ultrasound

Answer

Depends on the doctor. They don't all do early ultrasounds.

Answer

In some military bases they won't allow an ultrasound as early as 20w
Unless you're high risk.

Answer

Depends. Your doc probably doesn't think you need one. My midwife said I didn't really need a scan that early bc I knew when we conceived and my uterus size matched that, so it wasn't necessary for confirmation or dating purposes (which is most of the reason why they do them that early). But she offered me one anyway, and I accepted since my insurance covered it.

Answer

I didn't get one till closer to 10 weeks. Was told they can't really see much before 8 weeks anyways

Answer

I got one at 7w for confirmation and won't have another until my anatomy scan. Which is Tuesday 😊😊 yay I'll be 19w5d.

Answer

My doctor said my first scan won't be till I'm 11-13 weeks even though I'm amenic and have very low vitiam d I thought she would of at least ran tests she just gave me folic acids
