DO NOT GET A TRANSVAGINAL ULTRASOUND!!!!!!!!

Amber • Wife💏Vegan🐮Entrepreneur💸Rainbow Baby🌈 Due 1/4/19🙏

Ladies, I am devastated. I miscarried today at 7 weeks and 2 days. Yesterday we saw the baby for the first time at a very high rated doctors office that specializes in high risk pregnancies, I am not high risk, but thought it would be a great place to be just in case. Because I wasn't that far along they did a transvaginal ultrasound. I was so excited to see my baby. We heard and saw the healthy heart beat. It was 135bpm and it was beautiful. They said that everything was healthy and normal. I am 26, my husband is 28 and this was our first pregnancy, and we got pregnant on the first try. I have had spotting and cramps all day today and thought it was just from having the probe that they use inside of me. Tonight the bleeding got worse and I lost the baby. The sac came out while I was in the bathroom. I am DEVASTATED! I have been doing research and I've found that I am not the only woman this has happened to. The transvaginal ultrasound killed my baby. Please, I am begging you to avoid getting it at all costs! Wait until your baby is big enough to be seen with a regular ultrasound. We were so excited and we were going to tell family in a few days, but now we are broken and sad. I feel like I should've known. I should've done research. My husband doesn't believe me that it was the ultrasound that killed our baby. He still isn't sure I had a miscarriage. He has too much faith in the medical field. If a doctor hasn't proven it, it must not be true. I KNOW that the ultrasound was the cause of my miscarriage. I just want to prevent anyone and everyone from going through this too 😢

Edit: if you're just gonna comment that transvaginal ultrasounds are safe but say you're "so sorry," don't waste your breath. If it makes you feel better to think that they are safe, go right on ahead. Honestly, it breaks my heart thinking it was the ultrasound. It doesn't bring me peace. It makes me wish someone had shared their loss after an ultrasound and I had heard that there was even a .0001% chance that it could harm my baby. I would have waited. Make your own choices and stand by them, but just know I am not looking to blame anyone or anything for my loss. I am hoping that someone might benefit from waiting for an ultrasound if they have no need for it. The probe isn't the problem. It's the sound waves. Anyways like I said, if you want to help but disagree with me, go on your merry little way and leave me alone.

Update #2: I just messaged my friend who had a miscarriage before her rainbow baby. Her miscarriage occurred at 8 weeks, the day after her first transvaginal ultrasound also! I'm not saying it happens to everyone OBVIOUSLY there are many many babies that are just fine after this, but I am looking for more women who have experienced the same thing. All that we can do with knowledge is use it to make our OWN choices.
