With my first pregnancy my first ultrasound at 9 weeks was transvaginal as they couldn't get a clear pic from the outside, but I was a lot heavier than with this pregnancy. All my US this pregnancy have been external....
It's not a huge pole either!! It's actually not that bad, and it's ummm easier if you just ask them if you can put it in yourself - but you may not need to so don't stress to much
Lol.. thanks girls.. got a bit frightened when I heard about "dildocam" as Im very self concious.. I know theres alot of this stuff in the pregnancy, but one less doctor down there is always good. Fingers crossed for a normal scan!
Thanks again!!
the humiliation starts early in the pregnancy sometimes, eh.
I had the transvaginal this time round, but not with the other two - and it was because I am heavier than the last two times and they couldn't get a strong heartbeat/picture. (I was shocked and embarrassed at the time, cause I don't even have a huge amount of belly fat or anything) But I know plenty of women who have had to have it...it's better to see that everything's ok and be a bit embarrassed for a few mins
I've had the internal version for both 12/13 weeks scans...not the most comfortable thing, but not the worst. It was done to get better views of bubs, cos even though things could be seen through tummy-cam, they got better measurements internally. Apparently.
