Second scan

Went for my first gynae appt yesterday. Doctor said I'm just 6 wks through transvaginal ultrasound. Next appt is on 9 wks. Will there be any issues if I postpone my second appt to 12 wks so I can skip transvaginal scan? It's kinda painful / traumatizing for me.. Maybe I just didn't do enough research and got a shock that I had to do a transvaginal scan on my first appt. But I don't really want to do it again lol #firsttimemom #advicepls

Perhaps you can request a normal ultrasound instead of transvaginal scan which it is very painful if gynae/doctor not careful or you are not comfortable. Though lubricating gel is use, yet it can be uncomfortable for us.

You should be able to change for appt dates if available. Anything less than 7/8 weeks pretty much not easy to detect sometimes through ultrasound. It will be like a pea/bean size or not visible. Perhaps your gynae wanted another check at 9 weeks to confirm as well as hearing the little one heartbeat. For any future visit do let them know of the uncomfortable of the vaginal scan and only request ultrasound. Hopefully it will all be good and smooth.
