Just got my positive test and im a bit lost about timing. My MIL keeps saying go for scan immediately but i feel its maybe too early na? Wanted to know when you all did your first one and roughly how many scans in total.
There's a general timeline but it varies, so follow your gynac's plan rather than a fixed rule. They'll space them based on how things are going. That's the safest way to do it.
My doctor scheduled the first scan around 6 to 8 weeks to confirm, then the dating and anomaly scans later. She said the schedule depends on each pregnancy. Best to let your gynac plan the timings for you.
Usually first one early to confirm, then a few key scans through the months. Don't go for extra ones just out of curiosity. Your doctor will tell you exactly when each is needed.
My first scan was at 7 weeks and seeing the tiny heartbeat made me cry. The doc told me the next dates. So exciting and nerve wracking at the same time.
