Dating scan advice

I really want to avoid having a transvaginal scan if possible. It sounds really scary. If I see a gynae at week 7-8, would I be able to avoid it?#firsttimemom

I didn't do transvaginal as had vaginismus. my gynae did abdominal scan all the way for me and I'm going into 6 mths now. you may request for that

Transvaginal scan is the most accurate for the aging and checking heartbeat of the embryo/fetus at 7-8 weeks. It's best for identifying your EDD.

Nothing wrong with a transvaginal scan, you will only feel slight discomfort, nothing out of the ordinary. Not possible to avoid

I had my scan at 6 weeks and abdominal scan was sufficient. only had a transvaginal scan when I had bleeding ard 14 weeks

I didn’t have transvaginal scan during pregnancy. Can be detected from ultrasound during my week 5

Think doctor will try abdominal scan first..
