    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.

    poopie you are hilarious

    lulu dildocam hahahahhaha

    well I unfortunately had to have the dildocam twice!!! I have a tilted uterus so had no choice for the first 2, but had another one at 10 weeks and it was just like in the movies, the gel through my belly. Having said that the internal one was much clearer

    good luck!

    After months of IVF, I'm totally used to 'dildocam'. Haven't had a 'normal' one yet.

    It's not that bad, though - about 1 thick finger, and a touch longer. I'm sure you had worse to make the baby!
