My mother-in-law advised me not to rush for scans immediately. We went around the 2nd month (about 8 weeks) and everything was clear.

Ah, those early days when I actually got sleep! My gynac called me in at 8 weeks because she said doing it too early just causes unnecessary panic.

Hiral Banerjee · Answer

Since I had thyroid issues, I was already visiting my doctor regularly. She booked my first confirmation scan at exactly 7 weeks.

According to my app trackers, doing it at 7-8 weeks is perfect because the gestational sac and fetal pole are well developed by then.

Durga Kini · Answer

Always let your gynac decide the timing. They usually ask you to come around 7-8 weeks post your last period date.

Just had my delivery recently, but I vividly remember my 6-week scan. We could see the tiny cardiac flicker, it was magical.

I went for my first scan around 7 weeks because that's when my doctor scheduled it. It was amazing to see that tiny dot.

Devi Sarkar · Answer

My doctor explained that a viability scan is best done between 6 to 8 weeks. Before 6 weeks, often only the sac is visible, which can cause worry.

Arpita Pai · Answer

I remember treating myself to some hot samosas right after my first scan at 7 weeks! Don't go too early, wait till at least 6 or 7 weeks to hear the heartbeat.

Don't rush at 4 or 5 weeks, you will only get anxious if nothing shows up. Wait till 7th week for a clear heartbeat scan.
