When Did You Have Your First Ultrasound?

jennamarie05 · November 2015

Last week I got my positive HPT, followed by postive blood work at the doctors office. They scheduled my first "confirmation" ultrasound for 3 weeks from the day of the positive blood work. When did you all have your first ultrasounds?

splsmama2016 · November 2015

9 weeks? Second was yesterday (NT technically), and my next appointment with OB is next week.

TiffRox81 · November 2015

My doctor kindly scheduled me around the 7.5 week mark, but because the baby measured more like 6.5 weeks, she wants me to go back again next week. Pro's and con's to going too early, but it seems like most doctors prefer to wait until 8-9 weeks so that there's more to see! Good luck!

my first US was at 12 weeks for dating purposes & an FTS to check for chromosomal abnormalities.

Knottie83732320 · November 2015

I will have mine at 14 weeks.

NDPA · November 2015

I had no idea how far along I was or could even be since I had no idea when my last menstrual cycle was, and ultrasounds around here take up to a month to get so I was around 12 weeks when I had my dating US.

kalanieileen · November 2015

First ultrasound was 8 weeks for dating then 12.5 weeks for the NTS. Then my Doppler was at 16 weeks and my a/s is scheduled for December 21st. It is normal to not have a lot of ultrasounds until you are further along, so patience is a virtue.

My first was at 6.5 weeks - I was leery of a vaginal one and wasn't sure if I'd see a heartbeat with abdominal that early. Was very happy that abdominal revealed HB that early.

jennamarie05 · November 2015

Thanks everyone! I think I'll be about 8-9 weeks by the time I have my first. Its just strange, because I don't really "feel" pregnant, and I don't know if I'll really believe that its real until the ultrasound!!

SparkE82 · November 2015

I had an 8 week ultrasound to confirm pregnancy and rule out ectopic concerns. Then my next ultrasound was at 12 weeks, followed by my anatomy scan /ultra sound at 20 weeks.

susykat77 · November 2015

I had my first at 6w1d. It made me worry because we didn't see fetal pole or heartbeat... At 6w5 we did. I went so early because I'm seeing a RE for IVF. I think it's best to wait until at least 8 weeks - especially if you might not be right on with your ovulation date. Good luck and congrats!

mamacooke716 · November 2015

Mine will be in 2 weeks when I am 9 weeks. I have been so anxious bc it just doesn't really feel real yet.

JenniferMasters · November 2015

I'm at 4 1/2 weeks-I scheduled mine today for 12/17 week 7

rakel88 · November 2015

My first one will be in the middle of 9 weeks. I feel the same as you, i don't have a ton of symptoms, only mild nausea and fatigue, and while I'm thankful for that, it makes it nerve wracking to have to wait "so long"..

princessconsuela1986 · November 2015

Mine will be when I am 10w5d

peregrinefalconx · November 2015

I could have gone in at 5.5 weeks (for placement), but waited until 7.5 weeks. I'm under the care of an RE, and with a history, you can get in earlier. I think waiting is standard, but so nerve wracking.

chapichap · November 2015

7 weeks

pettycrocker · November 2015

As soon as my betas were high enough to show a sac, which was right around 5wks.

DeePaddy24 · November 2015

I had a dating u/s at 6w6d, and will be going in for another at 11w6d.

arcanejinx · November 2015

I had one at 6weeks 2 days because I had some light spotting. If I hadn't spotted I wouldn't have had an ultrasound until my anatomy scan at 20 weeks

huskypuppy14 · November 2015

I had my first at 8 weeks, and will have my NT ultrasound at 12 weeks.

jpepps23 · December 2015

I just had my first ultrasound. I had been admitted in the hospital for a couple hours due to dehydration, and uncontrollable vomitting. I have them my LMP date, but from my blood work my pregnancy hormones were high, so they wanted to rule out twins or being further along then antisipated.

Ultrasound was good, def a little growing baby in there. They put me at 6weeks. Which from my LMP I'm 5w 2days.
So, they're a close match!

owens0410 · December 2015

My first ultrasound is tomorrow, 7w5d.

xtraumaxqueenx · December 2015

First was 5w5d cuz I landed in the ED for dehydration. Beautiful lil peanut with a HR of 101!

I'm having a follow up on Monday @ 7w6d for a subchorionic hemorrhage.

perliane · December 2015

I'm 12 weeks and I had my first one in the ER when I found out I was pregnant. I don't really feel pregnant neither, except for the bloating.

lalala2004 · December 2015

I was 7 weeks, but my doctor thought I was 9 weeks based on LMP.

mcklough · December 2015

I had one at 6.5 weeks because of intense cramping and a previous loss. My dr usually only does 2- 12 weeks (if you are doing the NT scan) and 20 weeks. I will also have one at 31 weeks because at 20 weeks I had partial placenta previa and they discovered a spot on her heart that they want to make sure has cleared up.

They may do additional ones beyond that, but my understanding is that they just feel for baby to determine position unless they find additional complications.

MillieT09 · December 2015

Our MW group doesn't do one until the 18-20 wk anatomy scan. However, we can choose to have an early ultrasound done - which we are doing at 12 wks. Really only because we have twins that run in the family and we would rather know earlier than later if this is the case!

RubyRedPirate · December 2015

I had mine at 6w4d but they thought I would be 8w. I told them I had very irregular periods so I was unsure of my last period. I'm going back tomorrow, I'll be 8w2d to get a followup ultrasound since I was so early on and get bloodwork done. I did get to see and hear the heartbeat at 6w4d though!

My office does first ultrasounds at 8-10 weeks.

ashields1017 · December 2015

I had my first ultrasound at 7 weeks and just had my second yesterday at 9 weeks. I'm high risk so they are keeping a close eye on baby. But I don't mind. I love seeing my little peanut!

taylornewbaby · January 2016

I've always had high risk pregnancies so my doctor always has me get ultrasounds. Just about every time I have an appointment. With my son my placenta detached and I had an internal bleed, so my doctor always likes to keep an eye on my peanuts! I really think it depends on your health and your OB

amandam925 · January 2016

I'm scheduled for my first this week, when I should be 6 weeks 1 day (she wanted to schedule it between 6-7 weeks). I had an IUD removed in November (and my LMP was 11/25), so my doctor may want to make sure that it's not ectopic.

Iristhewild · January 2016

My youngest's pregnancy was very high risk so I had every two weeks .

This pregnancy I've had one, yesterday, and one scheduled for the 13th. I'm 8 weeks.

plumeria05 · January 2016

Mine is next Thursday and I'll be 6w6d. Can't wait to hear the heartbeat.

oneblessedmess · January 2016

My doctor's standard is 8 weeks, but my dates were a bit off and when I went in we discovered I was only 7 weeks along. We were still able to see her heartbeat though.

joyful38 · January 2016

Today was my first ultrasound. 6weeks2 days. Saw a heartbeat! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ya Never Know · January 2016

My doctor wasn't going to do a 1st ultrasound until 18 weeks! With my last pregnancy, I had frequent ultrasounds from the very beginning so not having one until 18 weeks seemed crazy to me! I told him it made me nervous to wait that long, especially since I've been spotting on and off, so he scheduled one in 2 weeks.

mgarvich · January 2016

My first will be at 9 weeks- I'm 5w2d now based on LMP. I feel like it's forever away but my blood levels came back great so I'm holding on to those for reassurance.
