What should I wear to the CVS?

This sounds ridiculous but I feel like I need to know if I will be asked to change into a gown or will stay in my own clothes? So far at scans I've just slid down my leggings or jeggings but it's not that comfortable and I'm not sure it's conducive to staying very still. I have no idea what else I would wear though?

Just wear the same clothes you would for a scan. You won't need to change into a gown (or, at least, I didn't need to).

The procedure is a bit uncomfortable but not painful and relatively quick.

I hope it all goes well for you

Just wear a normal top and trousers. You will just pull your top up as you do for scans. Good luck xxx mine was quite painful so I’d recc taking a painkiller before to help

They only made me have trousers down to the hips and top up, same as the scan really, I found it uncomfortable but it was bearable, not as bad as i'd built up in my head, good luck x

In the end I didn’t need to have the CVS, the baby was clearly too poorly to survive
