Hi I've got mine on Wednesday, I'll be 7+3. Did you have an internal scan to see that much?

Hi I had a scan last week at 7+1 and saw a large head and small curved body with little paddle shapes at the side for arm buds! Heart beat was really strong. I was shocked how much you could see - the yolk sac looked like a little parachute - very cute xx

they say 7 weeks for an early scan and even at that it can be hard to see on a normal scan. at this stage it's a wee bouncy dot! sometimes they can pick up a heartbeat but not see a blimp. u won't have a scan though till 13 weeks unless there is a prob
