First scan?

[tinymumma]

Ohai ladies
I was just wondering, at what point did you get your first scan? What was it like? I absolutely cannot wait to see my little munchkin for the first time! I just wanted to hear about your experiences

With my son I had mine at 11 + 4. It was great bar the full bladder (I drank twice as much as I should have lol) the midwife checked the hb but we didn't hear it and then I went to get bloods for the NT test. Altogether it lasted around 30 minutes

8w2d I had my dating scan, empty bladder, measured baby to double check dates, saw that the placenta was starting to form and attach, checked my tubes and ovaries since the tech could, it probably all took about 30 min.

I got my first scan at 8 weeks on the dot, and that was my dating scan! Was amazing, even though bubs just looks like a little bean, you still see the start of your miracle! When are you getting yours hun?xx

I think it varys a lot by country. In the UK its usually between 11-13 weeks. They measure baby, check for the heartbeat, give you a due date and just let u watch your baby its the best!

I had my first scan at 8 weeks. Didn't take very long, just checked the baby's heartbeat etc. Was still super exciting to get a glimpse of my little one for the first time though xx
