Typically, the first ultrasound is around 8-12 weeks to confirm the pregnancy. Then there's an important one around 18-20 weeks for detailed check-up. While scans are essential, remember a balanced vegetarian diet also contributes greatly to the baby's health.

With PCOS, sometimes they do an early scan to check things and rule out any early issues. But generally, the first one is 6-8 weeks and then the big 20-week scan. Just make sure you follow your specific doctor's plan, as it can be a bit different for everyone, especially with underlying conditions.

My wife had her first one super early, like 6-7 weeks, just to confirm it's not ectopic. Then another big one in the middle, around 20 weeks, to check everything. They usually tell you the schedule in the first visit only.

You usually have one early on to confirm, then the main anomaly scan around 20 weeks. Some doctors do more, some less, depends. Keep track of the costs, some places are more expensive than others for the same scan. Plan ahead financially, it adds up!

Yaar, usually it's one early on, around 7-8 weeks to see the heartbeat, which is super emotional, actually. Then the main one is around 18-20 weeks for the detailed scan, the anomaly one. Your doctor will give you the exact dates, don't worry too much.
