    Good Luck 2morrow Renstar! I have my 18 week scan in 2 weeks! Wow! I have had a few scans now as of some spotting a while ago (non for a while touch wood!) and we have 2 awesome pics that I show EVERYONE!
    I cant wait to see the 18 week one! Bubs is moving around so much now(bigger I cant feel it yet!) and it is so awesome to see and the h/b putts your mind at rest alot!

    Have a great time tomorrow!! You deserve it!
    Oh and the internal scans are a piece of cake - you really dont even feel it!! Just to put your mind at ease!

    The main reason I chose to wait until I am 8 weeks pregnant before I see the HB, is so I could avoid having an internal AND to see a better pic!..... I hear alot of internals are done because the person is only 6wks pregnant and it's hard to see the HB at that stage.... whereas 8 weeks they shouldn't have a problem picking it up, that is, if all is well

    If I do have to have an internal, then I will but I'd prefer not to!! I've been told by heaps of people to try to avoid them especially in early pregnancy.

    Internal exams are yuck Ren, but I preferred the internal u/s to the other ones. Way more comfortable than a full bladder IMO. I think at 8 weeks it might still be internal? Anyway, either way, it will be awesome!!

    Thanks girls! I've had pelvic scans done before (worried about cysts a couple times in the past) so i've had about 3 over the years, and a full bladder SUCKS!!!!

    Well when I rang the receptionist there and asked her, she said that it most likely will be the abdominal scan....perhaps each place is different depending on where you go? I'd say they'll try the abdominal way first then if not a very good image they will go the internal?? Either way, i'm just happy to be seeing a that's all that really matters to me
    I've been waiting sooo long for this day to arrive.!!!

    DANNIM - GL!! And omg you are 12wks tomorrow!!!! eeeeee!!!!

    Ren, just a warning hun, a full bladder when pg is even more uncomfortable than a full bladder otherwise - especially later on!! But it's all worth it .

    How exciting Ren! Good Luck tomorrow!!

    Agree with MantaRay - the full bladder is THE worst bit.

    I had a scan at 8 weeks too and it was a normal abdominal one. I saw and heard the heartbeat and got a picture of my little blob I also had an internal at 32 weeks and it wasn't that bad.

    Good Luck tomorrow!
