Just found out im pregnant, must be around 5-6 weeks. Excited but also no idea when the first scan is usually done. Should i go now or wait? when did you all get your first one?
I rushed to the clinic as soon as I saw the positive line and panicked when they didn't do a scan immediately! But actually, they usually do the first viability scan around 7-8 weeks to hear the heartbeat. Just stay calm, it is totally normal to wait a bit.
Usually it's around 7 to 8 weeks. That's when I went in expecting one little dot and came out finding out we had two! It's a crazy moment, so hold on tight.
It is best to call your gynac as soon as you get a positive home test. They will tell you exactly when to come in, which is usually around the 7th or 8th week to confirm everything is safe.
Seeing that first tiny flicker of the heartbeat at 8 weeks was the most emotional moment of my life. Your doctor will schedule it at the right time, just enjoy this beautiful starting phase.
My mother-in-law said to wait a bit before telling everyone, but we went for the first doctor visit early. The doctor scheduled our first scan around 8 weeks, which is standard.
Honestly, I can barely remember what I did yesterday, but I know my first scan was around 7 weeks. Just get it done when the doc says, and get ready for a lifetime of no sleep, haha!
