First scan at 12 weeks, is it normal?

Hi i went to polyclinic towards late oct to request for a referral to NUH. Is it normal to have my first scan at 12 week? Anyone go through this too? During my polyclinic visit the doctor didnt check urine test to confirm my pregnancy. However few days before heading over to the polyclinic ive tested on 4 kit and all is positive. Its abit worrying because ive experienced a miscarriage in early January this year. If follow my flo app, im currently 8 weeks pregnant.

when i first went to polyclinic, i was at week 6. they wanted to schedule appt the with KK following week, but i thought it's too early (on first visit they normally do scan but if it's too early, you still need to do another scan post week 8 for dating scan for more accurate EDD). so i asked to push back another week so i'll only go KK at week 8. on that first visit, they already laid out schedule for FTS at week 12 and 20 week scan. i think NUH has a longer waiting time. you can try call if can reschedule earlier and let them know how far along you are. especially if you're keen to do FTS (first trimester screening) that needs to be done before week 13. i imagine they'll need time to secure appt for that (also need to do blood tests prior). i'd be anxious too if i'm you.. good luck mama!
