Just curious actually, my gynac said first scan will be done at a certain week. So from which week is ultrasound usually done in pregnancy? im 6 weeks now and eager to see baccha.
I read somewhere that ultrasound scanning started in the late 1950s. For me, that first scan at 7 weeks is always so emotional because we wait to hear the heartbeat. Praying for your safe scans.
If you're asking about history, it was first used for clinical obstetrics in Glasgow in the late 1950s. If you are asking about your own timeline, you usually get the first dating scan between 7 to 9 weeks.
Wait, do you mean historically or when do they do it during our pregnancy? If historically, I think it started somewhere in the 1950s or 60s. Today we get our first one around 6-8 weeks!
Yes, it became popular in hospitals in the 1970s. Nowadays, we have to plan for at least 3-4 major scans like NT and Anomaly scan, which can cost quite a bit so keep a budget aside.
