Hi,

I was hoping to get some advice - I have booked in for my dating u/s this friday and was not told about having to drink lots of water beforehand, then after speaking with a friend got curious as to what type of u/s it was. After ringing the receptionist back and asking if I had to drink water etc she said no as it was an internal u/s. I am 8wks pg and from what I have read you should be able to see and hear all you need to via an external u/s - so is it normal and safe to have an internal dating u/s?

I am a bit apprehensive about it and not sure if I should be asking them to try an external one first and then if they can't see anything try an internal???

Any thoughts???
