General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

An early ultrasound is usually done at 6-9 weeks in the first trimester of pregnancy to confirm the estimated due date more accurately by measuring the fetus, to confirm the fetal heartbeat, make sure pregnancy is in normal location (in the uterus) as well as to rule out ectopic pregnancy and multiple pregnancies.

So, in view of the above you can have an early ultrasound as suggested by your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
