Test came positive 2 din pehle and im super excited but also impatient lol. Want to book a scan but dont know if its too early to see anything. When did u all get ur first ultrasound?
An ultrasound can usually detect a pregnancy sac around 5 to 6 weeks. However, heartbeat is often visible only by week 7 or 8. Your doctor will advise the best week to get the first scan done.
In my experience, my doctor scheduled my first scan in the 7th week. They were able to see the tiny heartbeat then, which was amazing. Everyone's body is different, so I just followed whatever my doctor advised.
My mother-in-law advised me to wait for a few weeks after missing my period before going for a scan. We went around week 7 and heard the heartbeat. It's best to let your doctor guide you on the exact timing.
I remember having terrible nausea even before my 6-week ultrasound, which confirmed the pregnancy. It is usually clear by week 6 or 7. Make sure you discuss with your doctor to book it at the right time.
Usually, a scan at 6 weeks can show the pregnancy sac, but waiting till 7-8 weeks is better to hear the heartbeat clearly. Don't rush for a scan too early as it might cause unnecessary tension. Keep tracking your dates!
