My first scan is next week and honestly im a little nervous about it. Its only around 6 weeks so i dont know what to expect, internal hota hai ya normal one? Pls someone who did it tell me how it goes.
Early scans (usually dating or viability scans) are often transvaginal (internal) to get a clear picture. Make sure you check the costs at different diagnostic labs because hospital rates can sometimes be double for the same scan.
Haan, starting me mostly internal scan (TVS) hi karte hain, so don't get surprised na. It doesn't hurt at all, bas thoda uncomfortable lagta hai. It's done to check the baby's heartbeat clearly.
Because I had some early bleeding, my doctor immediately did an early TVS scan to check the gestational sac. Please make sure you get it done only from a qualified radiologist recommended by your gynac to keep things safe.
When I had my early scan at 7 weeks, they did an internal ultrasound because the baby is too tiny to see from outside. It was a very quick process and hearing the heartbeat for the first time was beautiful. Just take deep breaths.
They usually do a transvaginal scan in the first trimester to check the baby's position and growth. Just eat a light breakfast before going unless your doctor gave specific fasting instructions, especially if you need to monitor your blood sugar.
Early scans are typically transvaginal (TVS) because abdominal scans can't detect a tiny embryo clearly before 8-9 weeks. Your gynecologist will guide you on the exact timing, so just follow their schedule.
I'm planning to get pregnant soon and was wondering about this too. Do they always do an internal ultrasound early on, or is it sometimes done on the tummy if you drink enough water?
