First Ultrasounds
Posted: 02-02-05 17:52pm

When did everyone get their first ultrasounds? I just had my first prenatal appointment today and found out I don't get one til i'm 18 weeks. I'm so sad, I thought i'd get one earlier...

I've gotten one on my first visit both times. To confirm the preg and get an accurate date. If you had a blood test that may be why you didn't get one.

i got my first ultrasound at 18 weeks exacally. I guess it depends when your doctor wants you to go for one. Usually by 18 weeks they can see everything. Good luck :)

Hehe I got mine late... At like, 26 weeks! My baby boy was huuuge. I think they choose the 18th week cause it's a good time to see everything about the baby, I know how impatient you must be (i sure was), but it'll be awesome when you get there! Usually they only do an ultrasound earlier if there's a possibility of something maybe wrong, so at least be happy there's none of that :)

You have a point there. I'm glad nothings wrong that calls for an ultrasound. I had some spotting last week but she wasn't concerned and it only lasted a day so i'm not too worried. I'm just impatient.. I just want to know that everything's alright. Anyways, i'll get to see the baby a week after my birthday! Yay hehe

No, both the bf and I want it to be a surprise.. But I don't know if I can hold out that long lol so we'll see. I want a little girl but would be happy with either. Just want it to be healthy. For a boy, we picked out jacob thomas (thomas after my dad) and if it's a girl, emma lee. I'm 7 weeks 3 days preggo with my first.

Congrats on the boy :) I can't wait to get out of the first trimester. Hehe

did your doctor talk to you about the prenatest? It's an ultrasound they do to detect if your baby has downsyndrome (sorry I can't spell)? They do that test I believe between 8 and 12 weeks. I had mine done just so I could see the baby. They will mention to get a more accurate reading that they can send your blood to a private clinic to test... But it costs $. I just did the ultrasound.... It was great to see that baby. I live in quebec, but i'm pretty sure it's the same across canada.

Call and ask :)

I got mine on my first visit to confirm pregnancy. I was 6 wks and 2 days preggo! I had a miscarriage a year ago so she wants to see me 3 wks after so next friday I will be 9 wks and 2 days preggo! She wants to see how the baby is growing! I can't wait to see it again! We want a boy! But either is great! On my first appt I even got to see the heart beat!! It was so amazing!
