Internal scan

I’ve had many internal scans and other than slight discomfort they’ve all been fine, a bit more uncomfortable so heavily pregnant because I feel like I need a wee every 5 minutes so I personally just struggle with the pressure of the probe 🤣 but you can stop at any point if it becomes painful or too uncomfortable just let your sonographer know! x

I have a low lying placenta too and I have had many internal scans. Honestly they are fine, the probe is quite thin and they don't hurt at all, just sometimes feels a bit weird if they move around a bit. The sonographers know what they are doing, they barely have to glance down there and your lower half will be covered with a paper sheet so you're not exposed. Good luck, I'm sure it will go fine x

Yeah I’ve done a lot of internal scan while i was miscarriage and even this time when i had low lying placenta i was 20 weeks pregnant when they told me i was on high risk then at 28 weeks it was normal 😅

I have one every 2 weeks to check my cervix you barely even feel anything x

It's not bad at all... a fairly thin wand goes in and they use lube. Smaller than all dildos, not to be weird. It might press against your cervix which can be uncomfortable but not painful. Remember to speak up if it hurts as it shouldn't. But not sure if they do when you're that pregnant.

Thank you ladies! This is my second baby and I’ve had a smear test before so surly nothing out of the ordinary, just so nervous😅😂

Just think of it as the thing that put the baby there in the first place 😅

I remember being nervous about this and the nurse said to me that if 85 year old women can do it and not have a problem with it, then I certainly can 😂
