7+4 early scan?

[Freespirit98]

Hi, just wanted to know if anyone had been for an early reassurance scan at around the same time as me!

I have got one tonight I am 7 weeks and 4 days and just wanting to know what to expect really as feeling a bit anxious! I had a miscarriage back in July and just praying to see little bean moving on the screen 🥺

Can you see much at this stage or a blob lol?

Thanks in advance Xx

sorry I have absolutely nothing to add but I’m just booking in a scan for 7+3 so interested to hear anyone else’s replies!

Hello, I’ve had lots of early scans around that date and although it will be a bit of a blob 😅 you should see the heartbeat flickering! Good luck!

@Freespirit98 I saw a blobb shape with flickering heart at 6+1 so you'll definitely see something at 7 +4. At 8+4, she was really looking more baby like. X

Exciting! I'll let you know how I get on x

Ahhh fab! Thank you, I'm so excited 🥺🥺

Perfect thank you for your response! Let's see how he/she looks later 🥺😍 thank you x

Following as I’ve just rearranged my 6 week scan to 7+2
Hope everything goes well

We saw baby's heartbeat at 6+2 xx

I had a scan at 7+2 and we saw a little flicker of a heartbeat and what looked like the start of a baby forming.
I had an internal scan so be prepared for them suggesting that as they can then get a much clearer look.

@Freespirit98 let us know how your scan tonight goes - good luck!!

@Amipreg1 how was the internal scan? Everything I’ve read said ‘it’s not painful’ but I don’t know if I believe it! I’m fine with a bit of pain, just like to be prepared…

I’ve had an internal scan before and it honestly isn’t painful. It’s bigger than it looks and they lube it up 😂😂
This is coming from someone who absolutely hates cervical exams, I’m almost in tears at them

Good luck OP . Expect to see a blob with a flicker . The sonographer referred to her as a raspberry.

I meant to say smaller than it looks 🤦‍♀️

I work in ultrasound. An internal scan shouldn't be painful, no more than using a tampon, sex toys or having sex. Its also nothing like a smear test, no speculum etc. It's a long slim probe but only the tip goes in, it sits where a tampon sits and has lots of sterile lube and a protective sheath on it. The sensation can be a bit odd as the sonographer moves it side to side to get good views of womb, endometrium, ovaries, and pregnancy etc.

Thanks so much for the replies, that has made me feel a lot better! :)

I've had tons of internal scans and definitely not painful. At 7 weeks it will still be very blob like but you should see a heartbeat. Don't be too worried if they measure you at a different date. At that stage everything is so tiny it's a matter of millimetres.

No advice but good luck!

I've had a few internal scans for various reasons and they've been absolutely fine. Not painful at all.

I had one at 7 weeks, after MMC, 11 years ago and I'm sure things have advanced since then. Found my twins easily on TV scan. Hope it goes well.

Aww 🥺 Thank you lovely! I'm sure I read on the reviews that the place I'm going only offers abdominal ultrasounds! But we shall see when I get there, thank you

Thank you so much!

@Wibbli thank you so much!!

Thank you I'll keep you updated! And show a pic later! I'm so excited 🥺🥺🥺🥺

@Babybaby66 thank you!! I just want 7.30pm to come now 🤣🥺 I'll let you know thank you so much for everyone's responses I don't want to clog all your feeds up lol! X

Perfect thank you!! My midwife said the dates were correct on the phone but as you say I might measure different. Thank you so much. I don't think the place I've booked do internal so just abdominal at this stage!
