1st prenatal ultrasound

Hi mommas! I am seeing a lot of you post your early scans of your baby and I am wondering if you had to ask for the early scan or is it automatically given to you? I've been trying to do research on this for my specific doctor and I'm not entirely sure I'm gona get to have an early scan plus I'll only be 8 weeks and 4 days at my appointment so I doubt they'll find my baby's heartbeat yet. My appointment is this Thursday and I'm so anxious. I'm pretty sure baby is okay because I've had nausea consistently for the past week, but I wanted to see him/her or hear to make my pregnancy feel more real. I'm kinda bummed. 😢 I live in Kentucky if that helps.
