Just got my positive test few days back and so excited. Want to know when does the first scan usually happen, matlab how many weeks should i wait before going?
Usually, the first scan is scheduled between 6 and 8 weeks of pregnancy. It's done to confirm the pregnancy location, check the heartbeat, and calculate your due date. It's very routine, so just follow your clinic's instructions!
My first scan was around 7 weeks to check the heartbeat. I remember feeling so relieved seeing that tiny flicker! I eventually had a planned C-section and a smooth recovery, but that first scan is truly a special milestone.
The first scan is the dating and viability scan, usually scheduled between 6 to 8 weeks. My doctor said it's done to confirm the gestational sac, check the fetal heartbeat, and make sure it's not an ectopic pregnancy. It's a very important initial check.
I totally understand how nervous and excited you must be feeling right now, sweet heart! The first scan is usually done around 7-8 weeks to see the baby's tiny heartbeat. It is such a beautiful, emotional moment when you hear that sound for the first time.
I know the wait for the first scan can cause so much anxiety, I was literally counting down the days. Usually, doctors do it around week 7 or 8 to check for the heartbeat. Just take deep breaths, your feelings are completely valid and everything will be okay.
My doctor did my first scan at 7 weeks to check the baby's growth and heartbeat. It's a quick transvaginal or abdominal scan depending on your week. Now that I am breastfeeding my 6-month-old, I still look back at that first scan photo with so much love.
Yaar, it's actually done around 6 to 8 weeks, which is called the viability scan. They check if the baby is in the uterus and listen to the heartbeat. Don't worry, it's super quick and your gynac will guide you on the exact date.
