8 Weeks today.

Hello everyone. According to my LMP today I am 8 weeks pregnant. Is it normal for to have not gotten an ultrasound yet?
I wanna make sure everything is okay in there. How many others are still waiting on the first ultrasound?

  • I'm having my first one at 8 weeks. Have you called your doctor to set one up yet?

    In between pregnancies, I've grown to love my "other" baby. The "carb baby", that's taken permanent residence in my belly, thanks to my overzealous love of bread, pasta and pastries. Hence my name. :)

  • I think the normal for a healthy pregnancy is just the one at 20 weeks. I'm having one next week as my office just started protocol to do one in 1st Tri. They did not do this with my first two. I would call your office and ask what the norm is for them.
  • I have called so many places in my town. And due to the insurance stuff, they either aren't taking new patients at all. Or they're booked out until January! I have an appointment today at a resource center to see if they can point me in the right direction.
  • My Dr does a dating ultrasound anywhere between 8-10 weeks, but will not do one before that (unless there is a specific need). All doctors are different and have their own policies regarding early ultrasounds. I think it's completely normal not to have one before 8 weeks so I wouldn't worry about it.
  • My doctor does one around 8 weeks and then at 20-21 unless they feel it's necessary to do more. I have in about a week and a half and I'll be 8+ weeks then.
