Hello Everyone - just want to ask a quick question - does anyone know if a early scan done internally is dangerous? can it cause any problems - last time after my first scan - which was meant to be at 8wks but was found out i was only about 6wks i ended up having some abdo pain - and the bub stopped growing a few days later and i MC a week later - this time my obstertician wants to see me again on the 26th of november - and im worried that the scan may of had something to do with MC! i dont want it too happen again!

Personally I don't think so. I have had internal scans with my 4 successful pregnancies. I have had 2 losses and the only reason for internal scans with those was to confirm the loss

:hugs:

I had an internal scan yesterday (and I'm 6w+4d) and the doctor said that it wouldn't cause a m/c. I asked because that was what I was concerned about as well!
