I was wondering when do you get your first ultrasound or get to hear the baby's heartbeat?
I am only 6 weeks. ↓

Well, I am 7w3d and my first ultrasound is tomorrow. They call this one the 'dating' ultrasound. To double check the conception date and the due date. You should ask your doctor when he/she wants you to get that done. ↑

I will be 14 weeks tomorrow and won't have my first ultrasound until the end of August. I was ttx so we were able to pinpoint exactly when I concieved. I heard the baby's heart beat on June 19th on June 29 which was my last appointment (so 12 weeks, it's just how my 4 week appointment landed).

With my first pregnancy I actually had my first ultrasound when I was 5 weeks and 4 days. That was as elliot_baby said a "dating" ultrasound. And I was 8 weeks when I heard my son's heart beat for the first time. At about 19 weeks I had another ultrasound done to check to make sure everything was developing properly with the baby and at this time I also was able to find out the gender. ↑

I got mine when I was 20 weeks along and I got to hear her heart beat for the 1st time at 14 weeks ↑

Some doctors do one at 8 weeks to check on everything, some wait until 16-20, and some do both. ↑

at my first appointment, i had a pelvic exam done and was given my due date. my ob tried for the heart beat but i was only 9 weeks so we didnt hear anything. she told me at next months appointment i'll for sure get to hear the heartbeat and then the month after that is when i would get my first ultrasound. i would be approx. 19 weeks at my first ultrasound. each doctor is different though. ↑

I had an ultrasound to try and find this baby at only about 2-3 weeks. In fact, I've had 3 ultrasounds within a week (trying to make sure I wasnt ectopic since because of cramping and spotting). ↑

I had my 1st u/s at 8.5 weeks to find the gestational age. I had my 2nd at 18 weeks to determine the gender ( girl) and make sure she didn't have any growth abnormalities. Every doctor is different, but you'll more than likely have at least one in your 2nd trimester. ↑
