When are you /did you have your first scan? wks?

We had ours at our first appointment with our OB which was at 10 weeks. Unless you have a history of problems, my OB won't see you until 10 weeks. I think it was a great time as there was a definite heartbeat not to mention DD acutally resembled a baby, albeit a tadpole baby. LOL! Our next scan was at 12 weeks then 16 then 20 then every appointment with the OB from there.

The first NB scan is at 13 weeks when they check for abnormalities in the skin around the neck/spine (can't remember what it is called) Before that it's just to check for dates so if you are 100% certain about your dates then aim to get an appointment around the 11 week mark so you can have the scan in time. IMO anyway.

i had mine at what i thought was 6 weeks an i was actually 5w 5d was still great tho got to see the heartbeat at 105 BPM made it all feel so real.. next scan will be 13 weeks cant wait!!

12 weeks, NT scan.

Dating scan's aren't routinely done. Generally your dates are more accurate anyway, presuming your cycles are reasonably regular. But if want/need one about 6-7 weeks is a good time.

We had scans at about 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 20 weeks and again at 30 weeks admittedly we TTC for 5 years and a miscarriage 3 months before so the Fertility Clinic was over accomodating and reassuring to say the least.

I'll have a scan next week if I can, just gotta ring up and book it in cos I already have the referral. I heard the most common gestation for miscarriage is about 8 weeks, so I've always had a scan at around that time, just for reassurance, if that makes sense? My sister also had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, so I think its hard for me to believe its real unless I see it at that time....

However, I don't get the 12 week scan, just the 20 week one.

had 1 at around 4 weeks cos we weren't sure how far I was but didn't see much except the sack next was at 6 weeks and saw the HB then but didn't hear it, next we 12 weeks and my next 1 is at 19 weeks. Thinking of getting the 3D done but not sure if I can afford it
