Uhm.. No. It really depends on your doctor. I went to my first appointment yesterday, and they want me to get a sonogram this week. I am 10 weeks along. You will probably only have a sonogram if you aren't sure on your last period date on your first appointment though. They won't use a Doppler until you are 12 weeks though.

Last pregnancy had my first ultrasound done at 8 weeks and 3 days and this pregnancy had my first one done at 9 weeks and 3 days . They gotta do one to make sure there's a baby in there . Even if your blood test and pee test come back that your pregnant , doesn't always mean there's a baby ..... So they gotta do one at your doc app and to see how far along you are and tell you your due date . This is my 3rd pregnancy but only 2nd baby . Cause my first pregnancy , pee test and blood test come back I was pregnant but when they did an ultrasound , there was only the sac but no baby .

It depends on your doctor and insurance because I had my first ultrasound when I was 5weeks
