    I doubt it will be internal. What makes you think that? I had a normal scan on my tummy at 7 weeks so I'd say it would just be normal scan.

    She has it in her head it will be an internal due to having a M/C in March of this year.

    I doubt it will be internal. I had one early enough in the last pregnancy, as i said earlier in the thread because of a mc the second time. That was across the stomach and sure enough there was a heartbeat pumping away for us all to see. Hands down, best movie I've ever seen ;)

    If it's an internal, your wife can also ask to insert the prob herself if she's more comfortable. They are not the most comfortable things in the world, but not as bad as they sound either.

    I doubt very much it'll be internal. At the very least I imagine they will try ultrasound first and if shes before 7 weeks then do an internal.

    Ive had countless internal scans during fertility treatment and honestly they are fine. The thought is much worse than the reality.

    If shes over 8 weeks its unlikely to be an internal scan. Mainly done in the very early weeks of pregnancy. After 8 weeks the heartbeat is usually visible

    Depends on how far along she is. They'll try the tummy first and if it's looking like it's on the early side they may go internal to make sure they can date it accurately. Tell her to go in with a full bladder either way cos she'll need it for the tummy scan, and if they want to do an internal scan they'll get her to go and pee before they do it.

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    The Mrs reckons herself she's either 7 or 11 weeks.

    She has been wrong twice previously though with her dates.

    Hannibal, i know what you mean by that movie, i loved watching and hearing it on previous scans.

    Google is leading her astray in what she's thinking i believe.

    She has looked in here on boards at the various threads over the years i was told.

    Not a registered boardsie though.

    She doesn't even know my username here and i live with her :pac:

    So that is true?

    I thought it would be a normal scan across the stomach.

    They might well do an ordinary scan first, and only an internal if they need to. It probably depends on what dates she's going by, and whether they think theyll be able to establish a date with an ordinary scan.
    The internal scan isn't anythibg to worry about though!

    Even if it is internal, it's a narrow wand that they use - maybe the size of a super tampax. The only reason she'll feel it going is is that they gel they use is cold :P

    The room is dark and you are draped to the knee so nobody even the midwife can see all that much at the business end. They might peek initially but after it's in, all eyes are on their screen doing the calculations.

    Best of luck :)

    Not long to go now until the appointment.

    Hopefully they let me in :D

    I've been left in for routine scans before, but have never been to the E.P.U

    They will let you in. Both of my 12 w scans were done internally in the end due to baby's position to get a better picture of internal organs. As others have said have a full bladder first as they will most likely try external scan first and then she can empty her bladder if she needs an internal scan. They are fine, not sore or anything.

    You should have seen the look on our faces when the midwife said "Do you know what that is"

    Myself and the wife are like the Trotters when they discovered they became millionaires in only fools and horses.
