Hi! Intro and first appointment ultrasound

in June 2015 Moms

Hi everyone!  This is my first pregnancy and I'm pretty clueless but glad there's a community of you all out there going through it with me.  My DH and I had never TTC and I got pregnant the first month, so it all happened pretty fast and I was completely shocked.  I have my first appointment on Oct. 16th- I'll be exactly 7 weeks.  My OB said they will do an ultrasound.  What should I expect?  Do they normally hear a heartbeat by 7 weeks- and if they don't hear one, is that a problem?

    Congrats and welcome! This is our first, too!

    I think it's possible to see the heartbeat at 7 weeks, but I expect it's nothing to worry about if you don't see it that early. You can take it one step at a time though and if they don't see anything, ask if that's a concern.

    ProTip: in your signature settings, there's an HTML button on the right side at the top of the box that has a page with <> in red. Click that before you copy your ticker code in. It took me embarrassingly long to figure this out...

    They may be able to hear the heartbeat you never know but don't be too worried if they can't it's still early ;) also yes like @thepancakes‌ said they will be doing a transvaginal ultrasound so be prepared (lol).

    Congrats!  If you are 7 weeks along you may be able to see a flicker that is the heartbeat.  I'll be going in on Oct 13, just shy of 7 weeks for me, can't wait!

    Congrats!
    My dr didn't even try to listen to the heartbeat until 12 weeks last time. I had an U/S (it was not transvaginal) at 9 weeks and got to see the little bean though :) good luck!

    congrats and welcome! this is also my first pregnancy and i have no idea what to expect at my first appointment which is scheduled for 10/20 (which will be my 8 week mark). i was told there was a possibility of an ultrasound but that i should for sure be able to hear a heartbeat! :D i think this will all feel more real when i know there is a little heart beating!

    Welcome and congrats! With my first pg, I had a trans-vaginal u/s at 6.5 weeks and was able to see the HB. I was a little surprised at first, but it was easy and only mildly uncomfortable.

    Welcome and congrats!
    I'll echo the others: at 7weeks, I'd expect a transvaginal ultrasound and chances are good that you will be able to see the heart beating. Good luck!
