scan at 9 weeks- internal or external?

[Autumn2014]

I'm being sent for an early scan due to bleeding. Just wondered what to expect and if I should have shaved my legs!

Oh Autumn I am so sorry for your loss :( hope you have lots of care and support in RL x

ive had 9 week scan twice. first one was mmc where i had to have it internally. second one was new pregnancy where i had had a bleed and it was external. could see what looked like a jelly baby with a heart flicking away.

think it all just depends what they can see tbh they will likely try abdominal first though.

fwiw the internal scan is fine. i didnt want one but was so relieved to empty my bladder i was glad of it tbh. good luck with your scan

oh autumn im so sorry i didnt read the full thread. im so very sorry for your loss.

i hope you have lots of real life support. when you feel upto it there is a great supportive thread on here for people going through similar experiences, you may find some comfort there.

autumn where are you based and have you experienced this before? are you comfortable with what they have suggested?

It depends on how much they can see. They usually start with external, but if they cannot see everything they want to see, they will do an internal.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss x

Oh autumn, so so sorry to read this. Thinking of you x

so sorry to see you over here sasha i was on the other thread.

i hope youre erpc goes ok and they can do some investigations that will help in the future. thinking of you

I had my 6 week as an internal and 8 week as an external Which was ununbelievably clear. Don't worry about either way, they're painless and comfortable. Having a smear is worse! Good luck x

Damn it, I should have read the full thread. So so sorry Autumn truly am

So sorry for your loss, Autumn, I've been through similar. Be gentle on yourself, it can take a while.
