is it safe to get an transvaginal ultrasound at 9 weeks?

Question

Just worried about miscarriage. Last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and I did have a transvaginal ultrasound and I was so early (4-5 weeks) and they didn't see anything that early, so I'm just worried.

Answer

I've already had 2 ultrasounds. One sometime around 4 weeks or so and the other 5 weeks 6 days. Both transvaginal with no problems whatsoever. I'm now 7 weeks 5 days and doing fine!

Answer

I just had my 2nd transvaginal ultrasound yesterday and so far everything's fine. I had my first one at 8 weeks 2 days and the second one at 9 weeks 0 days. My doctor tried to do over the abdomen both times, but my bladder wasn't full enough to see a clear picture of the baby so she went transvaginal and we seen my bean and it's beautiful beating heart.

Answer

I just had mine yesterday and I was shocked that it barely even went in so far. It didn't even hurt that bad. I know this is a gross example but it honestly wasn't even as intense as when my husband is inside me. I wouldn't worry. But she does move left and right to see your ovaries.

Answer

That's how 98% of the pregnancy ultrasounds are done until I think 15 or more weeks. It's completely safe!

Answer

At 8w2d my doctor wanted to do vaginal, but I suggested abdominal, and she said she might not be able to see anything, but she did it anyway, and we still saw my baby. Obviously it wasn't a clear image, but she was still able to measure everything just fine

Answer

You can get a non trans vaginal one at 9weeks

Answer

Request a regular ultrasound first and if they can see what they need to, you won't have to worry about a transvaginal.

Answer

A transvaginal ultrasound will not make you miscarry. I have had a miscarriage, two live births, and pregnant with my third - I had transvaginals very early on for all pregnancies as I am high risk (had some at 5w, 6w, 7w) - even while bleeding heavily. It's really the only way to properly assess and measure the baby early on. They do not go in deep nor they do anything to cause your cervix to open.

Stay positive and best of luck!

Answer

I think if they check and your cervix is fully closed before the ultrasound you should be okay. I was worried too because of previous miscarriage but Dr. said cervix was fully closed and we went ahead with transvaginal ultrasound. Miscarriages are horrible, I wish they would never happen, especially because they make us question everything the next time. Goodluck. :)

Answer

It's safe unless you're spotting. Then you'd be on pelvic rest.
