I think it will be ok . I was 4 or 5 weeks exactly when I had my first ultrasound maybe a little bit further along .

It’s very early, usually this is the first day clinics will even see you. If your dates are exact there is a chance you may see something. Usually heartbeat is slightly later in that week.

You’ll not see much other than a sack and a small dot - we got one done when I was about 6 weeks and turns out I was like 5 weeks and 5 days .. they may ask if your comfortable getting an internal scan as they might not see much on your belly which is what happened with me x

I went for an early scan and while it was nice getting the reassurance the baby is okay you don’t see a lot on the scan

It’ll look like an octopus at this stage, it’s good to get a scan to see where it’s located for sure. Definitely get one at 16weeks tho. I went at 6 and 20 weeks and found my cervix to be short. Wish I would have known to go at 16 weeks for a cervix measurement to know if it was normal or shrunk. Thankfully nothing ever came of it but did give us a scare for a few weeks

I don’t see the point to be honest

I had this at 6 weeks x

I didn’t have a private one but had one at the early pregnancy unit in the hospital as I was bleeding at 6w+3
Could see the heart beat flicker on the screen

Seems a bit early. I wouldn't do one until 8 or 9 weeks

It is very very early for a scan. Even my IVF clinic didn't want to see me until 7 weeks because there is a chance you might not see much at all at 6 weeks, especially if there's any chance your dates might not be quite right. That being said, I did see the heartbeat at 6+3. If you can wait until towards the end of 6 weeks or Beyond in to 7 weeks that would be better.

Horrible name choice

So my son is Abel, my daughter is Blair, now I’m pregnant without third and my husband is SET on Cain….. however my MIL and my sister are both like No No you CANT have cain and Abel ( we are not religious at all!!) but I do kinda like Cain…. Bad idea or don’t give a shit what people say?

First menstrual cycle

I finally had my first period since I gave birth in May. I’m currently on day 11, and it’s still extremely heavy. This is the worst I’ve ever felt. Honestly, I’d rather give birth again than endure this pain.

Feeling pressure and bruised 😮‍💨

I suffer from PGP but the last few days I’ve had a different pain, I didn’t have with my first, there is so much pressure and feels like my vagina is bruised 😮‍💨 been getting on and off cramping all week but nothing that suggests baby is coming. Anyone have this? 37weeks

Baby movements at 39 and 5

Just curious what kind of movements you're feeling from your baby at this stage? Is it more rolling and stretching rather than actual kicks?

I'm just confused about when I should go in and get checked. I've already been in once and everything was fine. I can still feel the baby moving, but the movements are definitely different from before. I know there's less room now, but there's still movement.

I've never really had a consistent pattern in terms of timings, so it's hard to know what's normal. I'm honestly just so tired and feel like I'm constantly worrying about whether everything is okay.
