Not till around 20 weeks.


My wife did not have an ultrasound till 21 weeks.I need advise..my wife is pregnent by 1 month, is ultrasound necessary at this juncture.?
most doctors only call for one ultrsound unless there is some kind of health issue. they usaly wait till later in the pregnancy so that they have a better chance of determing the sex of the baby.
no need to worry. an ultrasound at this stage is done simply done to make sure she is pregnant, and that its not a tubal pregnancy. its only in the last 10 yrs that a first trimester ultrasound became routine.
Most women dont have the first ultrasound until 18 to 20 weeks.
I had my first ultrasound at 4 weeks but that was just to check for an approximate due date, the organs wont start to develope for a couple months so you have nothing to worry about, just make sure she has an ultrasound before the 16 weeks mark (4 months) to make sure everything is ok. Good luck and congratulations!
Not necessarily. I had a ultrasound done at 5-1/2 weeks as I was on fertility drugs, and they were checking for multiples. I had lost my first baby at 6 weeks as it didn't grow. Ask the Dr if you can wait for amonth.
well, first of all the ultrasound isn't going to hurt the baby to begin with. and yes it is important, I had problems with my insurance company, and couldn't get to my doctors right away, I was finally able to at 3mths of pregnancy, whereby, they did an ultrasound, that showed I had severe placenta previa, which is dangerous, and can cause preterm labor, and the cause the cervix to have an inablity to stay closed, etc, so yes, it is very important to have one in the very beginning, and then around 20wks, and then..at the very end, make sure baby has enough fluid, not to much fluid, and to make sure baby is turned the right way.
No ultrasound is done or preffered by doctors after three months boz after this stage some structured is formed, in the first month only only a embroyic blood clot is found
when i found out that I'm pregnant, I went straight to the dr. to make sure that I don't have an ectopic pregnancy....but since I was just 4 weeks pregnant, they found a yolk sac only so the dr asked me to come back after 2 weeks to check if the baby is inside the uterus and if the baby have a heartbeat already.....i think there's no problem if you will check it after another month, but even if your wife is just a month pregnant, you still need to visit the dr so she'll get a vitamins neccessary for her pregnancy....
Unless a woman has a history of ectopic pregnancy (where the baby implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus), there is no reason to have an ultraound until around 12 weeks. Some women choose to have one done around 8 weeks to make sure that they aren't having an ectopic pregnancy. But it is definetaly optional at this point. I honestly don't think any place will even do them before 8 weeks (2 months) because the baby is so small and chances of miscarriage are higher if they aren't necessary.
Most Dr.s wait till 12 weeks pregnant to do an U/S. No, you don't need one at 4 weeks. There really isn't anything to see that early. Most women don't even know they are pregnant that early. You are fine to wait.
I had my first Ultrasound at 10 wks.





1 to confirm the pregnancy


2 gestional age


then in the end I was told I was having twins! Yep twins...





3 month old twin boys %26amp; 7 yr old
no need to go for ultrasound.first tell me how you diagnosed that she is pregnant?
no scan needed now - but medical advice from your doctor is vital.





in london, women usually book in at 12 weeks to an antenatal clinic.





they often have an USS at this point





a staging scan is performed at roughly 20weeks to ensure the pregnancy corresponds by dates and scan size.





either way, medical advice should be sought as things like dietary requirements are vital to obtain (e.g. Folic Acid supplementation for which the guidelines have recently changed)
Some people do not even know they are pregnant at a month. Most Docs do the first ultrasound at around 16 weeks, I think. I do know you would be fine to pospone it until 2 months, I was about 3.5 - 4 months with my frist one.





Congratulations!!
Though the average is about 12 weeks for the first ultrasound, I had my first done at the 8th week. My family has a history of multiple births, and some high risks pregnancies, and the doctor was concered, so we had a u/s done early to detect if there was more than one baby, and how everything was starting to see if there was anything to be concerned about. There was also the fact that my uterus was/is apparently low-lying, and he wanted to be sure how far along I was, since he felt that I might be a week or two ahead of what we believed to make sure!


This my first baby too, and my husband asked the same thing to the doctor if it was really nessicarry (he was worried, and of course had every right to be like you!) I suggest asking your doctor if you can postpone the u/s and ask if there is any concern to have it this early.





Good luck, best wishes, and enjoy your trip!
It is understandable that you are worried, this being your first baby !





Well, ultrasounds are done in the first trimester (first 12 weeks) quite often.This helps in a number of ways:


-confirms the pregnancy


-helps estimate gestational age of the fetus


-lets you know that its a uterine pregnancy


-tells you if its a case of multiple pregnancy ( twins,triplets etc)


-tells you if its breech (head upwards) or normal presentation


-helpful in cases where the lady has a gynaecological disorder like fibroids,pelvic mass,hydatiform mole etc


-assesses growth and development of fetus.





But a first trimester scan is NOT ESSENTIAL.Especially if your wife is healthy and there is no reason for you to fear any complications.The ideal time to have an ultrasound would be between 18 and 20 weeks.This is also called the anomaly scan as it is possible to detect any abnormality the fetus may have.It also helps in localising the placenta and monitoring fetal growth.Again, any scan done in this period will provide the information a first trimester scan does.You can also find out the sex of your child (which is illegal in most of India)





In the third trimester,scans are done usually to monitor the progress of pregnancy if there is any complication involved or for predicting weight of fetus.





If the place where you are living right now is not well equipped for an ultrasound,there is no need for you to have one done right away as long as your wife is having a normal,uneventful pregnancy.You can get one done when you come to India or else even wait till 18 weeks are up.But depending on the country you are staying in, she might need a physical fitness certificate before travelling by air which might include a mandatory ultrasound scan.





Hope this is helpful...
Some women get ultrasounds done in the first few months of pregnancy (such as those who've lost babies before or going through IVF) but most do not. Only one is truly considered ';medically necessary'; in a normal, uneventful pregnancy and it is normally done between 18-22 weeks. At this ultrasound, the techs and doctors are able to look over all the parts of the baby to be sure they are present and working as they should (at least from what they can tell at the time). Good luck, have fun in India, and I hope this helped!
its good to have an ultrasound early because the earlier you get one the more accurate her dates will be..i would not postpone..its different with every doctor, but my doctor does an ultrasound to every woman who finds out there pregnant that same day..better to be safe than sorry..
