Congrats! The weeks are counted starting with the first day of your last period. If you had sex on the 5th or think you ovulated somewhere around there, you would be further than 5 weeks. The first day of my last period was Nov 8 and I’m 5 weeks and 4 or 5 days
I had my ultrasound at 7 weeks last pregnancy and I heard the heartbeat. I am also O negative. I had to get a shot with my first pregnancy. It wasn’t a big deal. I don’t normally do shots but in this case, it was necessary for the baby so I didn’t overthink it. I imagine I’ll have to do that again this time. But now I have a healthy son who will be one on Saturday so it all worked out.
@Jasmine just came here to say that was my LMP too!
You’ll be alright. The transvaginal does not hurt at all (I thought so but really nothing). And they can see a lot with it. Drink water before hand, don’t empty bladder. Based on your LMP you’re at 7 weeks, so a good time for this first scan. Good luck and let us know how it went 😉
You can find due date calendars online :) They are fun. If you know the first day of your last period it will be able to calculate. Don’t be nervous, as hard as that may be. Keep us updated on the results. :)
@Renae yes, I was just curious of the actual date. Thankyou tho & will do! =)
Don‘t worry about the 0 negative :) it does not affect first pregnancy only second where you have to get a specific vaccination or shot. I already asked many doctors about it :) i also have my first ultrasound on monday.. it will be 7.3 weeks. Wish you all the best and hopefully we are both able to see the baby :). By the way one tipp: try to drink 1 hour before the appointment so the bladder is full- they can see everything much better in that way :)
