Just confirmed im pregnant and im super excited to see something on screen. Dont know when they usually call for the first scan na. When did u all have yours?
Usually, the first scan is the dating or viability scan, done between 6 to 8 weeks. It confirms the baby's heartbeat and calculates your exact due date. Just book an appointment with your gynac as soon as you get a positive home test.
In my family, we usually wait until the doctor advises, which is around the 7th week for the viability scan. It was so reassuring to hear the tiny heartbeat for the first time. Trust your doctor's timeline for scheduling your scans.
For me, the first scan was done at 6 weeks to check for the baby's heartbeat, and I was so incredibly anxious during it. It is a very delicate time, so please take good care of yourself and go with a hopeful heart. Your doctor will guide you on the exact timing.
Oh, that first scan at 7 weeks is when everything suddenly felt so incredibly real to me! Seeing that tiny little flicker of a heartbeat was the most emotional moment. You will cherish this scan forever, so wishing you all the very best.
I know how nerve-wracking it is waiting for that very first scan to make sure everything is okay. It is usually done between 6 and 8 weeks to see the gestational sac and heartbeat. Try to stay calm and take deep breaths while you wait for your appointment.
Normally, doctors recommend the first ultrasound around the 7th or 8th week of pregnancy. It is very important to confirm that the pregnancy is in the right place. Please make sure to consult your doctor for any cramping or spotting immediately.
Beta, once your home test is positive, you should visit the doctor. They will tell you to get a scan around 1.5 to 2 months to check on the baby. Drink fresh coconut water and pray for a healthy start to your journey.
