first ultrasound

Hi! Just wondering when you ladies will be getting your first ultrasounds? I thought you usually didn't get one until 11-14 weeks, but my doctor says she always has patients come in at about 6 weeks for an ultrasound to be sure it isn't a tubal pregnancy. Anyone else getting this done?

Re: first ultrasound

  • At my OB, the standard practice is to have your 1st u/s and prenatal visit at 8 - 10 weeks. I'm having mine at 6.5 weeks, due to my loss history.

  • My OB's practice is to come in for an early ultrasound two weeks after a positive test (probably usually about 6 weeks).  I was out of the country for two weeks, so mine is today, at 7 weeks.

  • Last time I think I got one around 6ish weeks. I'm hoping for the same this time when I go next week....or that they'll schedule one for me soon after.

  • The standard at my OB is 8-10 weeks, but because of my history, she is doing one at 7 weeks.

  • Well I THOUGHT I was getting one at 7-8 weeks, until my midwife didn't realize they didn't have the capability to do an vaginal ultrasound at the office they use. Now, I'm waiting until week 11. Bummer! But, I'm not bitter. lol

  • First u/s today at 5w3d but that's with my RE due to my infertility and loss history. Most OBs will wait until 8-12 weeks. Some have a dating u/s at 6-7 weeks. Some have no u/s until 20 weeks.

  • We usually do heart beats at 6 and 8 weeks and then an ultrasound around 10 weeks.

  • My first ultrasound is the 21st of this month I'll be 7 weeks then. I have 2 friends who also got it done at 7 wks and one who was 9 wks

  • My OB only does two: one at 12 weeks and one at 20.  I wish they did one earlier; I'd like the reassurance that this is "real."
  • Mine only do the NST Scan at 12 weeks if you elect to do it and then the 20 week scan. I also wish they did an earlier one!

  • My doctor sees you at 8 weeks for first appointment and u/s, but I've heard of some practices not doing one until 12. Not sure why the wait but I'm glad mine does an u/s early!

  • From what I remember I have my 1st dr's appointment on Wednesday, He will schedule the ultrasound and I will probably get an appointment by 7-10 wks. At 12 wks there is another one (NST??? Can not for the life of me remember if that is right) and then one at 20 wks, and finally one around 35 wks to determine or confirm position of the baby.

  • My first ultrasound is September 7, I will be 9 weeks 4 days. She wants to be sure I will be far enough along to see baby. We aren't certain of when I O'd because I had a chemical pregnancy the previous cycle.

  • Mine will be 7w6d - this Thursday. I'm a little bummed because they only do abdominal ultrasound and I'm rather generous in the abdomen, so I went ahead and scheduled a TV ultrasound for Sept 5. I have yet to find my own OB/GYN, so the local pregnancy crisis center where I'm taking parenting classes said I could come get a TV done for free if the US on Thursday isn't conclusive or clear.

     I'm hoping I can cancel that appointment after Thursday. 

  • My first u/s will be tomorrow morning at about 6 1/2 weeks.  I have another scheduled for 8-9 weeks.  I think the standard is 8-12 weeks.  Just think, you'll be getting to see your bean in a few weeks!!  I'd take it!

  • With DD I only had one ultrasound at 16 weeks. Then I switched doctors and had one at 7 weeks and 20 weeks (and then every other week from 30 weeks on because of my high blood pressure) so I'm sure I will have those again this time as well.
