TransV for first trimester

Hey mummies. Just curious on this, every when is it required to do the transV? During my first check up, my gynae only did an abdomen UTZ and i thought we’re going to do the transV.

If the scan is at 5-6 weeks, ur gynae may use transV to scan because at this stage, abdominal scan won't be able to see much or as clearer as compared to transV scan. From 7 weeks onwards, should be doing abdominal scans alr, no need transV. Btw transV isn't that scary or painful!

I didn’t do any transV nor checked for dilation thru out my entire pregnancy. Gynae only saw my V during labour 😂 As long as it’s clear enough to see via abdomen scan, I think trans V is not necessary.

Nice! I hope I’m also gonna be like that my entire pregnancy lol. Cos im quite scared in the transV. So meaning, abdomen UtZ can also detect the heartbeat?

I had my first gynae appointment during week 4, doc manage to find the sac via the scan. No transv needed

5-6wk early scan, if can’t see clearly from abdomen ultrasound, transV will do.

went to doc and doc said they usually to transV for those less than 10 weeks..
