When are first scans done?

Question

Just got my positive. I have to wait until Monday to schedule an appointment. What can I expect? Do they just draw your blood to confirm pregnancy then tell you when to come in for a scan?

Answer

With both babies they give me a urine test at my intake appointment (I was 6 weeks by then). Then I get a dating scan a few weeks later (9 weeks and 8 weeks).

Answer

Dating scan is usuallu  6-10 weeks - not all pregnancies will have this
NT scan is done 10-14 weeks
Anatony scan is at 20 weeks.
Growth scan is done in the 3rd trimester (not all pregnancies will have these)

Answer

I’ve never had bloods done to confirm pregnancy. After I got my positive they schedule me to come in at 8 weeks where they take a urine test and then do a confirmation ultrasound. Same routine for 3 pregnancies now.

Answer

My office does a confirmation appt around 6 weeks with just a urine sample, some paperwork and blood work. Then 8 weeks a dating scan.

Answer

My primary doctor did a blood test to confirm and I have to wait until I’m estimated 8 weeks based off my last period to have my first appointment. It’d this Tuesday and I don’t believe I’m 8 weeks at all but until knowing they base it off your last period

Answer

I know a lot of people who don't get a first appointment until 8-12 weeks unfortunately. They may have you come in to confirm with urine test but most don't have a scan before 8 weeks because there's not much to see.
