Spoke to the on call dr today who made me a hospital appt for 8 in the morning. He said they might have to do an internal scan but what will that show? am pregs by the way!

depends how far gone you are.

i had an internal scan done at 6/7 weeks and you could sese a yolk sac and a tiny blob

[onlygirl]

is it painful?

[thisisyesterday]

no, not at all.

the "wand" they use is probably about as thick as a finger or thumb, they'll put some lube on it first!
then gently insert it, maybe move it around a little to get a good view of baby etc

it shouldn't hurt at all

thank you, just did not know what to expect.

Hi, just incase your dr didn't mention it, your bladder should be pretty full for an internal scan so drink plenty of water beforehand. Hope all goes well!

whenever I went for internal scans I was told I should have an empty bladder, bit puzzled by your post ande, unless you are confusing internal scans with abdominal scans.

i didn't have to have a full bladder for internal scan either

or a regular scan
