Do ultrasounds hurt?

Question

Don’t they have to stick something up your vagina when they do an ultrasound? I’ve never done one before. I can’t even use tampons because my vagina is too small to get one in there & tampons hurt me. & my husband’s penis will barely go in there too because my vagina is so small.? I’m so scared an ultrasound will hurt! :( ?

Answer

There is some pressure but no it does not hurt. If you could make a baby you can handle the ultrasound.

Answer

Well I hope u plan to have a C- section some type of way good luck💜

Answer

The wand used for transvaginal ultrasounds is way skinnier than any adult penis. You’ll be fine.

Answer

Depending on how far along you are, they will offer either a transvaginal ultrasound or an abdominal ultrasound. If you don’t want a TVU, you have every right to decline! We decline all TVUs and ONLY do select abdominal USs due to the risks associated with them. Remember - this is YOUR baby, YOUR body, YOUR birth. YOU decide which doctor/midwife to hire for treatment and YOU decide what procedures you want to accept, decline or alter.

Answer

It’s like sticking a dick up there. I wouldn’t say it hurts but it could be uncomfortable if you’ve never had anything but a dick in there

Answer

I think if you’re after 9 weeks, they’ll do an abdominal scan, but if you get a transvaginal, I personally think the “duck lips” they use to do your yearly check-ups are 100x more uncomfortable than a transvaginal ultrasound. It’s a pretty skinny scope (idk what to call it) so I really wouldn’t worry about it.

Answer

There will also be LOTS of lubricant to help. Once it’s in it’s not bad at all.

Answer

I had a miscarriage the day following a transvaginal ultrasound so this pregnancy I am not having an internal ultrasound. Do your research on what is best for you, I was so shocked to find out miscarriages after early ultrasounds are common.

Answer

A speculum is 1000x worse. I barely noticed anything but some pressure.

Answer

It wasnt uncomfortable and didnt hurt at all. literally felt like a tampon applicator
