Hi! I'm 6 weeks pregnant, I was wondering when you usually get your first ultrasound? The doctor said around 20th week, but for me is seems very late. I'm form poland and they do usg at the first visit. Thanks.

It depends on why you might need it done. Unless you are having complications with your pregnancy or have had miscarriages and so forth then you'll get more ultrasounds. But usually the standard it aorund 20 weeks to check growth and if you want to find out the sex. If anything just ask your doc for a sooner one. Good luck!!!
