I would honestly wait. There’s not much to see this early. I was 8 weeks + 3 days with my first baby for his first ultrasound, and I’m actually bummed that we went so early because he didn’t even look like a baby. For this baby, our first appointment is at 9w+2 so I’m excited to see the difference

My insurance covered it . Unfortunately at 5 weeks we only saw the sac however they told me to return in two weeks and they will do another in hopes to see the baby.

I use window to the womb. Make sure u check the offers sections of the website site as i got line cheaper ☺️ im going at 7+1 x

I have a scan tomorrow morning and I'm around 6 weeks, it's purely because ive had previous miscarriages and the EPU want to keep an eye on me, I'm really not expecting to see much x

that’s what mine was for too, was super quick and to just confirm viability. I posted my pic in the comments if you want to see an idea of what you’ll see.

the 3D is so cool!

I'm obviously looking forward to it, but the effort of having to do a 30 minute bus journey just to see a blob🙄😂 I've just seen yours, congratulations again x

Oh yes! Very exciting🫶🏻

what an amazing photo😍

My dang anxiety was the same way I just wanted a scan. We are 8.5 weeks and I’m finally getting mine today
I considered going to a private place that does ultra sounds out of pocket payment - early as six weeks called iseebaby

Is it a 3D scan? cos it looks like one.

It really depends! My OB does six week ultrasounds. Some do it sooner than others!

I had first scan at 5+1 due to a subchorionic hemorrhage and saw the gestations sac. I had a follow up at 6+1 and still only saw the GS I have a third ultrasound on Monday. I’m hoping we finally see baby and it’s not diagnosed as an empty sac.

If it will put your mind at ease go for it, I went for a reassurance scan with my first and it made me feel so much better x

Ultrasound direct are fab, i had internal at 6w and saw heartbeat then abdominal at 8w. Its affordable and really put my mind at rest x
