1st visit?

Question

I think I went in around 8 weeks with my first. On the medical group website I am a member of it suggests 7-12 weeks for first visit. I’m in no hurry and would rather wait until they can find the heartbeat etc. from the abdominal region… did anyone wait until 10/11 weeks for 1st visit?

Answer

I don't think there is anything wrong with waiting. If you're totally against a transvaginal ultrasound to see the heartbeat that makes sense to wait. My doctor won't see me until 8 weeks and I might push it to 10 so that I can get the blood work to tell me the gender because I can't wait.

Answer

My doctor does a transvaginal ultrasound no matter which week during the first trimester, because it takes better dating measurements which is the real medical purpose of the first ultrasound. You might want to see if this is the case for your doctor, so you don’t go in expecting an abdominal when that’s not an option. I had an elective abdominal at 7 weeks at an imaging clinic to have something to show my family and I had heard and saw a clear heartbeat. My first doctor ultrasound was 2 weeks later.

Answer

8weeks with all of mine. That's when my OB will take appointments. He found the heartbeat pretty easily on the US
