Just found out im pregnant, around 5 weeks I think. Not sure when the first scan is usually done, should I go now or wait few weeks? Dont want to do it too early and get worried for nothing. When did your doc call u for the first one?
Yes child, normally the doctor will ask you to come around the 7th or 8th week for the heartbeat check. Till then, rest well, drink fresh coconut water daily to keep your body cool, and avoid heavy lifting.
Please don't go too early like 5 weeks because sometimes the heartbeat isn't clear and you will panic like I did! Waiting till 7 or 8 weeks is best as you can clearly see the tiny heartbeat. It’s a magical moment, so just be patient.
Doctors usually suggest it around 7-8 weeks to confirm the pregnancy location and heartbeat. If you have bad morning sickness like I did, make sure to carry a small bottle of water and a lemon slice to sniff on your way to the clinic.
Usually doctors call for the first dating scan around 6 to 8 weeks to check the baby's heartbeat. Keep your mind positive, say a little prayer before going, and everything will go wonderfully well. Take care!
First scan is the viability scan, usually done between 7 to 8 weeks of pregnancy. Don't rush to the clinic the moment you see a positive line, it's too early. Let your doctor schedule it based on your last period date.
My doctor called me in at 8 weeks for my first scan. When I heard that fast, tiny heartbeat for the first time, I felt so overwhelmed and started crying with joy. It is truly an unforgettable experience, wish you all the best!
Ah, the first scan is usually around 7-8 weeks! Back then my baby looked like a tiny little peanut on the screen, and now in my 3rd trimester, it feels like I'm carrying a giant watermelon! It's a beautiful scan, you'll love seeing that tiny flickering dot.
