Why Can't I Get an Ultrasound at 8 Weeks?

from personal experience the earliest rewarding ultrasound I had was at 12 weeks I had one at 5,6, and 8 and nothing compared to week 12

why would you pay for one at 8weeks??? you can see the gender an the arms an legs are little buds......

cant*

that's weird...I had my first one at 8 weeks

well no matter what they look like at 8 weeks, its still rewarding to us.

I had mine at 8 weeks with my first child.

They didn't give you one at the doctor? are you trying to go to like a 3d place?

I don't have an actual ob right now. we are gonna get one once I get on my husbands insurance. we must wanna get one done. lol. my husband doesn't want us to doing the 3d thing. @kartersmom ka

we have only been through the health department

Oh ok, well yea the reason is because the baby doesn't really move and isn't developed at that time and those kind of places do like 10-15 sessions and there's really nothing to look at for that long at 8 weeks. about 10-12 weeks you can see everything and the baby will be moving

this is what they look like at 8 weeks

compared to 12

btw, insurances dont cover ultrasounds if you just want one done. you have to go through a doctor and they have to prescribe you to one. and if you arent being seen by a ob, most places dont let you get an ultrasound. my bf and I got our first private ultrasound at 18 weeks. it was $99 for the package we wanted and i had to be under some kind of ob care.

Try searching up private ultrasound technicians in your area. thats how we found the place i went to!

sorry for all the comments one last thing i promise! this is the place we went too!
