Worried About Internal Scan - Please Help x
Worried About Internal Scan - Please Help x
I am currently 6 weeks 4 days pregnant following a history of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. I have had no bleeding to date which I know is a positive sign.
I am due to have an internal intravaginal scan on monday 6+6 to check the viability of my pregnancy but I am terrified that this is going to make be bleed and cause miscarage. I know this sounds very irrational but I'm so very anxious
Will a heartbeat be seen at 6+6
Any reassurance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you xx

It's lovely news that could detect a heartbeat at your scan it must be a massive weight off your shoulders.

Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy.
I can completely understand your concerns, I personally didn't relax until after the six week scan.
The scan is performed at this time as there is a reasonable chance of seeing an embryo.
Personally I found the scan uncomfortable but not overly painful and did not experience any bleeding. In my experience, the practitioners who perform the scans are extremely professional and if you mention your concerns prior to your scan I'm sure they will reassure you.
Sending much love and positive thoughts for tomorrow,
Karen x
