Just got my positive test and im so excited but also dont know the timeline of scans. When is the first early scan usually done? Dont want to go too early or too late. Pls guide.
I totally understand that beautiful anxious feeling you have right now while waiting for your first glimpse of the baby! They usually schedule the early viability scan around 7 or 8 weeks so that the heartbeat can be clearly heard. Sending you so many warm hugs, it's going to be a magical moment.
My first dating scan was done at 8 weeks! It is such a happy milestone because you finally get to see your little bean on the screen. 🌟 Usually, doctors schedule it between week 6 and 8, so hang in there, it's coming up soon!
An early viability or dating scan is standard between 6 and 10 weeks of pregnancy. It's done to confirm the heartbeat, check the gestational age, and rule out any ectopic pregnancy. Speak to your doctor to schedule it at the right time.
My saas was saying that in their time they didn't have so many scans, but now doctors do the first scan around 7-8 weeks. My mom also agreed that it's good to get it done early to make sure everything is in the right place. Just go with whatever your gynac recommends.
For me, the first scan was done at exactly 7 weeks and I felt so emotional when I heard that tiny heartbeat for the first time. I was so nervous walking into the clinic, but seeing that little dot made everything feel so real. It's usually done between 6 to 8 weeks.
Normally, doctors recommend doing the first scan around 7 to 9 weeks because doing it too early can sometimes fail to show the heartbeat, which just causes unnecessary worry. Please check with your gynac and let them tell you the exact date based on your last period.
