My first ultrasound is on June 30th. The receptionist called it a "dating ultrasound." This may sound crazy but I have no idea what's going to happen! Lol. I'm 30 years old, this will be my first! I should be around 7.5-8 weeks at the scan. She wanted to see me earlier than normal due to past miscarriage. Can anyone help give me some insight on what to expect at this "dating scan?" Abdominal or transvaginal ultrasound? Has anyone else been in my situation?

TV US. If you go to the AW Wednesday post, you can see my scan from 6 weeks. They are super tiny at this point but you should be able to see a heart beat by then.

@isisney it is a transvaginal ultrasound where they measure the size of your baby in order to confirm a more accurate due date. Usually unless you are a week or more off from your due date from your LMP, they just go with your LMP due date. They also listen for a heart beat. It's a pretty surreal moment. Until I have that first ultrasound I keep second guessing that I read the pregnancy test right!
First appt is at 8 weeks + 1, July 7th. I'm nervous about waiting that long since I have a history of early loss, but it is what it is! I have a new doctor this time around. He actually delivered my second child since he was on call and he's a total ham. I just love him so I switched!

Had my first appointment today - midwife said it was too early for heartrate with in office equipment - so we chatted about supplements I'm taking, she felt my tummy, checked my boobs and had me pee in a cup for all the standard tests. She ordered bloodwork to check for anemia etc., materni21, a dating scan, NT test and a meeting with the genetics counselor. All in all a pretty boring appointment. I'm bummed we didn't check for the heart rate as I was hoping to confirm the little squish was there so I could cancel our trip to the Caribbean.
I had my first appointment yesterday it was just a urine test and they updated all my health records. I go back this coming Thursday for blood work and then finally July 12th I'll have my dating ultrasound. I'm so anxious!
My first appointment is June 30th--I'll be 8 weeks, 1 day by that point. Hoping I'll get an u/s then; if not, it will happen on July 11th, when I'm almost 10 weeks in. Less than two weeks to go for my first appt.!
I had my first appointment 6/20 at 5w3d and the PA basically yelled at me for coming in early. I'm in the process of searching for a new OBGYN because of all the problems I've had with this office. They called me the next day to tell me that my next appointment (7/7) is MUCH too late and I need to come in next week. (Eye roll). I'm very excited because they said blood work came back great so they expect to see something when I go in on 6/29 ( I'll be 6 w6d) but I can't wait until I can be done with this office. I have my first appointment with a new office on 7/25 (10 weeks) so I'm glad I'll be able to get a chance to sneak a peek before then!
First appointment with Nurse is July 7th for health history. 7 week Ultrasound scheduled for July 11th and July 27th Appointment with Dr. Cant wait until ultrasound!!
I had blood work done 3 days after my bfp back in June 14th. My first prenatal check up is tomorrow!!! I am excited and nervous....hope baby is doing good!
