Brief Answer:
Can get it in coming week

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is a good time to get the first ultrasound any day in coming week.
It will confirm the age of the baby and heart beat too.
Get the scan and then we can discuss further in case anything is needed.
Ask her to take folic acid tablets daily and take good balanced diet.
All the best
Regards
Dr Manisha
