When is first ultrasound done during pregnancy in canada?
We recently moved to Canada and im newly pregnant, the system here is quite different from back home. Just wondering around which week they usually do the first scan here. Any mommas in Canada who can share their timeline?
In Canada the first ultrasound is generally in the first trimester, often around 8-11 weeks for dating. The system there goes through your GP or midwife so timing can vary a little. I'd confirm with your care provider directly, they follow their own protocol.
A friend in Canada told me her first scan was scheduled by her GP around the 10 week mark. The process there is provider led, so just register with a doctor or midwife early and they handle the booking. Saves you the guesswork.
Oh Im curious about this too since my cousin is pregnant in Canada. She said her first scan was around 9 weeks I think. Are the scans there fewer than in India? Just wondering.
From what I know in Canada the dating scan is usually done around 8-12 weeks, and many also get the one near 11-13 weeks for the early screening. Your family doctor or midwife usually arranges it once pregnancy is confirmed. Best to ask your provider for the exact timing they follow.
