Ultrasound question

[krl52014]

I'll be getting an u/s on Tuesday at 6 weeks 4 days. Will they be using the vaginal cam that early? I asked my MIL to come along and help with DD but if they will be using that, I'd rather her not come in with me.

I had a dating US at 7+ 3 and they used the vaginal cam then, my guess would be yes. I think the earlier it is the more likely they are to use the dildo cam

Can your MIL stay in the waiting room with DD?

My us at 7/5 was transvaginal. She tried at first with the abdominal and could see the babe, but apparently I have a tilted uterus which made it impossible to get a really clear shot.

My u/s at 6 weeks was transvaginal.

Ok thanks ladies

It will likely be transvaginal, but my technicien gives me a long gown. Can you ask her to sit behind you and leave the room when its time to change?

The started my ultrasound with the abdominal but then moved to the transvaginal because it was too early to see much, they gave me a little paper sheet to cover my legs with.

I had an u/s done a 7w5d (or 6) last time, and they were able to see everything they wanted via abdominal.

My new practice waits until 8 weeks - I suspect so that they don't even have to worry about the transvaginal route.

So ramblings aside, I would suspect they'd have to go the transvaginal route that early.

I would just assume it's going to be transvaginal at 6 weeks. All the ultrasounds I've had before 9 weeks were transvaginal. They always give me a paper sheet to drape over myself.
