Just confirmed im pregnant, roughly 5 weeks i think. not sure when the first scan is usually done na. doc appointment is next week but im curious already. when did u get ur first one?
I actually went for my first scan quite early, around 7 weeks, just to get a clear picture. My doctor wanted to confirm the viability and estimated due date. It was really reassuring! Then she advised me on what kind of light exercises like walking were okay for me after that. It helps to be proactive.
My saas told me to wait till 2-3 months before telling anyone or doing a scan, just to be sure. But my gynac said to come between 6-8 weeks for the first one to confirm heartbeat and dating. So best to follow the doctor, na? They know what's best for you and baby.
Generally, the first scan, which is usually for dating and viability, is done between 6 to 8 weeks. It confirms the pregnancy, checks for the heartbeat, and calculates your due date. Don't delay it too much, it's an important one. Just call your doctor's office, they'll guide you.
