What to expect at 5 week ultrasound?

Kellie

I’m about five weeks along now and my RE wants me to come in for an early OB ultrasound. For those who have been through this, what should I expect? Will there be much to see?

I’ve read that it is probably too early to detect a heartbeat. Does the doctor look at anything else to confirm the pregnancy is progressing normally? Should I expect another beta to confirm my levels are increasing?

I’m really anxious and excited for this appointment. It’s only a few days before Christmas and we’re hoping to tell our parents on Christmas Day if all goes smoothly. 🤞
