My period is late and test showed faint positive. Doc told me to come for a scan. Just wondering will the ultrasound actually confirm it this early na, or is it too soon? bit nervous.
Haha, yes, and sometimes it detects double trouble like it did for me! It's the most accurate way to find out how many weeks you are and if the pregnancy is in the right place.
Yes absolutely! A transvaginal ultrasound can detect a tiny gestational sac as early as 5 weeks. But usually, doctors recommend waiting till 7-8 weeks to clearly see the baby's heartbeat.
Of course it does, that's the ultimate confirmation. A home urine test only checks hormones, but the ultrasound actually shows the sac and the heartbeat. Don't rush too early, go around the 7th week for a clear result.
Yes, it is the safest way to confirm. But please get it done only when your doctor advises, as going too early might not show the heartbeat and cause unnecessary stress.
Yes, it surely does. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to undergo multiple scans later on to monitor the baby's growth and fluid levels. My first scan at 8 weeks was what confirmed my healthy pregnancy journey.
