8 week scan nhs

[Bettyboo2468]

I just had my first scan come through from the NHS I will be 8 weeks 4 days according to my last period. Surely this is too early, or is it ok dont want to be sent back for another. Should I ring them see what's going on or have scan?

I had my first scan today at 7 weeks. I saw and heart the heartbeat today ❤️

Did you go through ivf? If yes, it is normal do have en early scan at 6-8 weeks. They are checking if there is a heartbeat and if pregnancy is in the right place. The next scan is at 12 weeks.

If it is a natural pregnancy, then the first scan is at 12 weeks.

Good luck!

I would go as at that point there will be a heartbeat 💗.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I had scans every two weeks from five weeks to fourteen.

I think this was because my pregnancy was spontaneous but off the back of my second failed ivf attempt and the doctor wanted to keep an eye 👁 and to be honest it was reassuring.

Congrats! X

Even natural pregnancy you can have an early scan depending on your history. Had a 6 weeks scan and second pregnancy an 8 week scan both viability scans before the 12 week one, I'm complicated health wise. Nothing to worry about 😊

We had our first scan at 6weeks and we were fortunate enough to see a heartbeat. I'm sure everything is fine.
