Hey everyone. Since this is my first pregnancy, just curious...is an 8 week scan internal or external ultrasound? My fertility specialist is releasing me to an OB and they really didn't tell me what they will be doing. I'm wondering when the next scan would be after that...10 or 12 weeks or both? Due to my age I'd really like both to calm myself down.

For me, I'm having restless legs sometimes and super tired. No ms yet thank goodness but chicken makes me pretty quesy.

Almost all scans anymore are external, but it really depends on the doctor--there's no set! From what I understand it's not typical to have a scan at 8 weeks and another at 12. You probably won't have another one after the 8 week until 20 weeks for the gender determination unless there are complications or concerns. But, again, it also depends on the doctor.

My scans, at 6+2 and 8+2, have been internal AND external. Both times they haven't been able to see anything on an external, which they tried first, then gave me an internal. If you call and ask they should be able to tell you, and what to expect.

It all depends on your doctor. My doctor does internal exams in the first trimester, then switches to external after that. Her ultrasound schedule is 6 weeks(dating/verification), 8 weeks (dating/heartbeat), 10 weeks (this one she asks if you want it or not), 12 weeks (NT scan), 16 weeks (gender), 20 weeks(detailed heart scan/measurements), etc... But I know mine does more than most

The only reason they would go internal is if you had some "iffy" area that they need to double check for clarity...but usually most women just get the external one...it is optional to have the internal one and nobody will force you to have it if you don't want it.

OMG, she is ah-mazing! We actually moved about 40 minutes away while I was pregnant with my first, and we still travel the distance to see her. If I were to call her in the morning, tell her I was worried, she would say "come one in, we will take a peek"

I had a miscarriage in 2007 and when I got pregnant with my daughter (my rainbow baby) she gave me an ultrasound every week from 6-12 weeks because I was so paranoid. She only "charges" (sends to insurance) 3 per pregnancy. She does them all herself except the NT scan and the 20 week one, which a sono tech does. I feel very blessed to have found her

That's so nice!! If only we lived in Texas As it is we will be driving an hour to the doctor, anyway. Texas is a little far...however!

I might be moving there. but "might" is the key word. It's still unsure.

First doctor's appointment this morning! And the nausea turned into puking this morning too. Blah.

I felt so sick when I woke up this morning and my stomach was rock hard, could hardly do my jeans up! I managed to eat a bread roll and feel much better now

My ultrasound is today. I'm praying there's a baby measuring well in there, along with a heartbeat. I'm quite scared!!

 

[Lou1234]

Be thinking of you today - I really hope everything is ok at your scan.
