I have my first pregnancy scan coming up soon, and I'm a bit nervous and don't know what to expect. Can someone explain how the very first pregnancy scan is typically done?
According to my tracker, the first scan is done around 6-8 weeks. It can be a transvaginal scan (TVS) which is super common early on because the baby is tiny, so don't be surprised if they do it that way.
I remember my mother went with me for my first scan at 7 weeks. It was a TVS scan and they checked the baby's heartbeat. It was such a comforting moment for our whole family.
The first scan is beautiful because you get to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It is usually done on your tummy or sometimes transvaginally if it is very early. Just keep chanting your prayers and stay positive.
The first scan is usually done around the 7th or 8th week to check the tiny heartbeat. It can be a bit emotional and nerve-wracking, especially if you've had a loss before. Stay strong, praying for you.
My first scan was a transvaginal ultrasound at 8 weeks to confirm the viability of the baby. It doesn't hurt at all, just a bit of pressure. Wishing you a very safe and healthy journey ahead.
It's a simple ultrasound to check if the pregnancy is safe and growing well. Usually, it's done at 7-8 weeks. If you ever have any cramping or spotting before that, skip waiting and go to your doctor immediately.
For the first scan, they might do a TVS scan, which basically looks like a magic wand! Or an abdominal scan where they put cold gel on your tummy. Just make sure to drink lots of water if they ask you to!
