hi! I'm also a first time mom.. how far along are you? I went in for my first scan too early actually. I was 4w+2 , not researching or anything I wasn't prepared for what will happen. first I took a blood test in skh they did a transvaginal scan and couldn't see anything in the womb. I was referred to kkh to do a more detailed scan. In kk also they couldn't see anything and couldn't determine if it was an etopic pregnancy. I was very worried and confused. my beta hcg lvl was at 417 I was told to come back 2 days later if it increased it's a good sign if it's same or drop then it's a different issue. luckily mine doubled. I will be going for my 2nd scan this week. Just a word of advice. I went through unecessary stress because it's too early to see the baby but then again better to check earlier. Whatever the doc says, be positive and don't overthink.
