Anxiety Waiting for Ultrasound

Hi everyone, 
I just found out I am pregnant last week and today I had my first appointment with my family doctor. According to my LMP I am about 6 weeks along. He sent orders for bloodwork and an ultrasound which I was hoping we’d be able to do sooner rather than later, however I got a call from the ultrasound office only to find out I’ll have to wait until I’m 11 weeks before getting my first ultrasound. I know this is a standard amount of time to wait, but I can’t help feeling anxious not knowing exactly what’s going on in there and if things are okay. I was hoping we’d at least get an 8wk ultrasound or something along those lines just to confirm placement and such. Just wondering if anyone has any tips for easing the anxiety I’m feeling around this waiting process, I just hate living in mystery!!

You have 9 months of living in "mystery" be glad that you are getting one at 11 weeks.  20 weeks is the only standard ultrasound- as it is the anatomy scan. 

Just be thankful you fo not have severe cramping and/or bleeding - all is good until the US
