My first scan (ever) for pregnancy is tomorrow!! (8am!) I'll be 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow!!

I'm so excited yet also a bit nervous!!! So glad DH will be with me....

What should I expect? Besides a Heart Beat detected of course!!!

We've been waiting forever to see this little HB

Good Luck.. It is so exciting isn't it

The only thing I would be prepared for is a possible internal scan.. maybe not at nearly 8 weeks but sometimes they like to get a closer look..

fingers crossed for a beautiful healthy baby !! Look forward to hearing about it tomorrow

Oh how exciting hun! There is nothing better than the sound of the beautiful HB!!! Both with Iz and this time around I was showing everyone the pics I got at around 7 weeks- there actually isn't much to see other than a black sac and a white dot! but I was very proud and showed everyone! Good luck and enjoy!

yep, not much at 8 weeks - but you will be able to see the black bit in the "chest"area that goes in and out of grey = heartbeat = it is lovely to see and hear.

They will probably also just move around, check for any bleeds (normal stuff) - check where the placenta is forming, check ovaries sometimes and all that is just normal, normal, normal.

Like Tan said, not very good brag photos, but they all count!

good luck Renstar

Ah thanks girls!! I'm so excited!

So besides finding a strong HB & them checking my dates are correct (which I'm pretty sure they are) then that's all I need to worry about??

Will they tell me the size of bub if I ask?
I asked them will i possibly have an internal and they said no, quite often it's just a normal abdominal U/S..... I would prefer not to have internal!

I'll let you girls know how it goes!!

Good Luck 2morrow Renstar! I have my 18 week scan in 2 weeks! Wow! I have had a few scans now as of some spotting a while ago (non for a while touch wood!) and we have 2 awesome pics that I show EVERYONE!
I cant wait to see the 18 week one! Bubs is moving around so much now(bigger I cant feel it yet!) and it is so awesome to see and the h/b putts your mind at rest alot!

Have a great time tomorrow!! You deserve it!
Oh and the internal scans are a piece of cake - you really dont even feel it!! Just to put your mind at ease!
