Right now, at 36 weeks, I basically live at my gynac's clinic. But for your first visit, around 6-7 weeks is perfect so they can actually see something on the scan! Congratulations!

First of all, super happy for you! Don't stress too much, you don't need to run to the clinic tomorrow. Around 6 or 7 weeks is the ideal time to go so the doctor can confirm everything clearly.

I called the reception at Apollo Cradle as soon as I got my positive line. They advised me to book the first check-up around the 6th or 7th week for the dating scan, so do call your hospital helper desk.

Most experienced doctors recommend coming in around the 7th week after your last period date. This ensures they can get a clear dating ultrasound and start your folic acid if you haven't already.

Yay, congratulations! 🎉 You should book it for around 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy. That's when they can hear the tiny heartbeat! ❤️

I ran to the doctor the very next day after my home test and they couldn't see anything on the scan, which totally panicked me! Learn from my mistake and wait until you are at least 6 weeks along.

Schedule it around the 6th or 7th week. This helps you plan your work leaves better since you'll get a clear schedule of all your future scans and visits right away.
