I just called to schedule my first appointment and was bummed out to hear that they won't do an u/s until 12 weeks. Does that seem really late to anyone else? I don't want to tell anyone about the pregnancy until we've heard a heartbeat, but the thought of waiting until December 17 is killing me.
My first "appointment" is really a class, and isn't for another 4 weeks (I'll be 8 weeks by then). No clue when the first u/s will be, but I hope not too long after that. I'd love to hear a heartbeat before Christmas.
Had a dating u/s at 8 weeks and opted out of 12 week NT scan but the doctor had doppler machine in office to hear heartbeat at my last appt (around 13 weeks). I didn't hear heartbeat until that 13 week appt as the dating u/s just showed video of the heart beating. I will have the full a/s around 20 weeks hopefully right before Thanksgiving!
I'm considered high-risk (prior m/c), so I had one at 8 weeks. I'll also have one at 12 wks and 20 week A/S. Otherwise, my dr is so stingy! My first pg I only had the A/S at 20 weeks.
