They did a quick blood test and then a dating scan around the 7th week. Did anyone else feel super nervous waiting for that first scan report?

My app tracked everything and it suggested confirming through a Beta hCG blood test first. Then around 6-8 weeks, they schedule an ultrasound to check the baby's heartbeat.
