I'm getting my first ultrasound at 8 weeks and 6 days.. What kind of ultrasound would it be??

Question

Answer

It depends on the sonographer - I had an ultrasound at 6+6 with this pregnancy and it was abdominal - the images were clear and we could see a heartbeat etc. The sonographer said she'd try abdominal and if she couldn't get a good picture she'd change and try vaginal.  I know some providers will just go straight to vaginal because it could be quicker.

Answer

At my 8 week ultrasound I expected a transvaginal ultrasound but I got a belly ultrasound! It just depends on ur doctor~

Answer

Vaginal is typically before twelve weeks

Answer

They did both for my first ultrasound. They did abdominal first, then had me empty my bladder and did vaginal. Vaginal def gave a clearer picture, but you could see everything pretty well on the abdominal one too.

Answer

Depends on doctor and how advance their equipment is as well

Answer

Vaginal ultrasound til ur 12+

Answer

It could be either. They may try abdominal first then switch if they want a better look. But the transvaginal really isn't bad. Don't worry.
