Hi, im 5w 6d and my first appointment with my ob-gyn is Friday. I was just wondering if they'll do an ultrasound or just listen for the heartbeat?

My first pregnancy they did an ultrasound at 6 weeks because i was still having periods and didn't know how far along I was. With this pregnancy (and as a general rule), my doctor won't see you until you're 10 weeks. I had an ultrasound at 10&5 and 20&2. She didn't want to do an ultrasound until 12 but my mom was moving out of state so she let us schedule it before mom left.

I had an ultrasound at my first appointment at 7 weeks. Did a pap and blood work. Heard the babies heartbeat, but it really depends on your doc.

I had my first appointment after a surgery @ 13 weeks. Found out at home at 11 weeks I was expecting. I had a pap, heard the baby, blood drawn, and asked about my medical history.

Your really early & u can't hear the heart beat when your that early unless you have a vaginal ultrasound. But if they do give u an ultra sound it wont even look like a baby yet. Wait till ur like 13 weeks then u can hear the beat and see a tiny baby!

They can only hear the heartbeat threw ultrasound they can't hear with a Doppler so more than likely you will get an ultrasound and see your little bean. I just had mine at 6weeks 4days and got to see the heart beat it was amazing! Good luck

I got a pap smear, blood work, and they ran through my medical history with me. I didn't get an ultrasound or hear the heart beat until my next appointment at 8 weeks
