1st Ultra Sound TV/worried

I went to my 1st ultrasound the tech said I'm about 4-5weeks because she couldn't see anything but a smalll sack. The dr needs follow up with blood work, which my dr did before I went. And possibly another ultrasound in few weeks. I am worried? Should I?

  • Unfortunately it might just be a wait and see kind of thing. You could have ovulated later. How far along did you think you were? I am on mobile and can't see tickers.

  • I would request a sooner ultrasound to make sure there is proper progress. Did you have betas done? What were those. You really can't see anything until I believe 6000. A lot of scares are just waiting to see what it turns into. I hope everything works out.

  • I wouldn't worry. 4-5 weeks is pretty early to see much. This is why I never understand why the do early ultrasounds. All it does is cause the mom to panic.

  • She said 4-5 weeks so I thought she was closer to 5 weeks. We were able to see the heartbeat at 6 weeks with my son. There are other milestones to hit in between the sack and the heartbeat. I had a blighted ovum my first pregnancy and I had ultrasounds once a week until it was confirmed to see if anything was developing. I'm glad I had those scans.

  • Also a few typically means 3+ so in 2 weeks then that is an earlier ultrasound. ;)

  • My dr. won't even do an u/s until 8 or 9 weeks for this reason. Don't panic, just wait it out.

    I couldn't agree more! At my us at 6w4d they couldn't find the baby and heart beat and first and I was in such a state that when they finally did I wasn't able to enjoy it the way I though I would because my body was in shock mode
