Is there any risk having a short speculum inserted??

Hi there All

Just a quick question - I'm just back from the doctors and I'm wondering if it is safe to have a short (it was pretty small) speculum inserted into your vagina - I've had some uncomfortability and she wanted to have a proper look - there was no scraping done - but now I'm a little worried about this - I know it's too late but at the time she assured me it was OK but now I'm just a little concerned.

Anyone else had an internal done with a speculum whilst in earlish pregnancy??

thanks

Sorry can't help you there. I haven't had an internal at all during this pregnancy (nor during any of my unsuccessful ones.

Hi Dianna
It is completly safe when done by someone who knows what they are doing.

thanks - it didn't hurt when done and it was very quick - the doctor was confident with what she was doing - also I went and had an US shortly after and the Cervix has been noted as closed - so I'm assuming that would minimise any risk - goodness me - I hope this anxiety subsides - otherwise I'm gonna be a nervous wreck for the next 26weeks :rolleyes:
