First scan at 10 weeks?

Hey all.. wondering if any experienced moms can advise me. I got an appointment for my first ever scan at 10weeks.. is that OK? Because I've always thought that the first scan is around 5-8weeks? 10 weeks seems abit far? Or is it totally fine? It's my first pregnancy so I'm at a lost about most things. Hope to get some advice! Thank youuuu

Hi there ! I got my first scan at 6weeks but we cant see much, just the sac .. To me its quite dissapointing and waste of money & time bcos ended up we cant see baby on the screen but have to pay the consultation fees etc 😅So i think 10wks is ok and higher chance u will be able to see the baby .. i got my 2nd scan at 12weeks and only then i can see how much my baby have grown from 3mm to 4.5 cm ! Take care !

thank you so much for sharing!! I feel better hearing your story. if not, I will be such a nervous wreck hehe

My 1st scan was at 10 weeks too and that's when I get to see my fetus very clearly. It's fine, yes! Unless your appt is so much earlier around 5-6 weeks then you'll probably can't see your fetus yet then it'll add more worry to you.

I purposely went abit later i think ard week 9 for referal, and got referred to KKH for 1st appmnt on week 11 bcz i wanna avoid the transvaginal scan bcz im so scared. Went thr and i got ultrasound scan and saw my baby 😍

I went pte gynae (whichever had slot) because when i found out i was already wk 8 and the guy i wanted at nuh only can have his first appt in feb which would have been too late. 😂 but i tink it should b ok?

My gynae doesnt know i wanted to go nuh. Lol. Anyway i cancelled nuh in the end also. Now hoping the pte one will take my case 😂

It's fine. My first gynae appointment will be nearing 10 weeks too. Some went too early (at about 6-7 weeks) and only able to see sac and ask to come back 2 weeks later.

If you go earlier it will be transvagjnal scan, not the usual ultrasound scan.

Had my first scan at the 12th weeks too! Everything will be alright. Comgratulations!
