I got my first ultrasound at 9 weeks and my second to see the gender will be at 20 weeks. If you get them too early then they could be inaccurate with the gender, the best is to wait closer to 20 weeks.

Most places wont do an ultrasound before 8 weeks because the heartbeat cant really be heard yet and there isnt anything to see but a sac . The longer you wait , the louder the heartbeat && the bigger your baby is !

Finding out the sex is most accurate after 18 weeks, my doctor won't even do it before then. I hard the heartbeat when I was around 9 or 10 weeks but even then my midwife warned me that it might be too early to hear it. But I hope you do hear it because it sounds amazing! Good luck and congrats :)

You can ask your doctor to give you a ultrasound to find out the number of babies...they would do that around 10-12 weeks...usually to make sure the due date is right
