First pregnancy

I’ve been in exactly your position. Google things but try not to take any results to seriously. I had a scan at 7 weeks and could see heart beats, then whenever I felt worried I just went and had a private scan to make me feel better. I decided it was worth the money to feel reassured.

Typically your first scan isn't until 12 weeks. Hospital scans are at 12 weeks 20 weeks 32 weeks and 36 weeks I hope this helps, If you want to have any scans privately. I found "window to the womb" was a lovely experience if you don't mind paying for it. They sell frames and heart beat bears too and they do 4D scans... highly recommend, especially with your first baby x

I had my scan booked for 7 weeks and I was measuring 5 weeks 6 days so didn’t see a lot and they mentioned there wouldn’t be a heart beat yet, so going back at 9 weeks , ngl it has made me panic more so I would wait as long as you can for booking a private scan - like they said to me the longer you wait the more you see 🥰

I was like this with my daughter, I went for a private scan at 9 weeks just to give me peace of mind and doing it again this time, after that I felt fine, I would try keep busy I’ve found that my first pregnancy I was worring about every little thing and with this one I’m so busy with my daughter weeks are flying in xx

i had a scan at 7 weeks but was to confirm baby was in right place, hospital scan at 12 weeks. i go private to see my boy now as hospital don’t offer any more scans unless needed. try to not panic too much, if your worried/ concerned call the midwives. it’s better to feel assured xxx

I’ve got my first scan when I’m 12 weeks x

I was also really worried, but I had a private scan at 7 weeks. It has really calmed me down now that I know they’re in the right place, growing as expected and had a fast heartbeat flickering away. At 7 weeks, there’s a clear little bean to see on a scan but also not much detail as it’s still quite early. The peace of mine was worth the cost for me. Hope you can feel calmer soon too!
