Just confirmed with a home test and i dont know when to book the first scan. Is it too soon now or should i wait few more weeks? First time pregnant so totally clueless about the timeline.
My doctor scheduled a few key scans, a dating scan around 6-9 weeks, the NT scan around 11-13 weeks, the anomaly scan around 18-20 weeks, and growth scans in the third trimester. Exact timing depends on your case so follow your gynac.
Scans add up cost wise so I just did the ones my doctor advised, no extras. Main ones were the early dating scan and the anomaly scan around 20 weeks. Ask your hospital for a package, sometimes cheaper.
I was anxious about when to scan too. My gynac gave me a full chart at the first visit. Did you get your first one yet? The 20 week one was the most detailed for me.
Usually first scan early to confirm and date the pregnancy, then the important anomaly scan around 20 weeks. Your doctor will tell you the schedule, dont do random extra scans on your own.
