Second scan

I think it is better not to skip the scan at 9/10weeks cos that is the time we can take the NIPT blood test to check for all the major diseases and the results takes 2 weeks, so by the time reach week 11/12, we will know if can proceed the pregnancy without any complications. If drag the scan to week 12 it might put body at risk... After shortlisting a few, I went to 2 different gynaes at week 6/7 to decide on which one to continue seeing and who to deliver my baby. First one, I did not feel pain at all doing the transvaginal ultrasound! Altho initially a bit shock &uncomfortable but it was alright. Second gynae, I was shocked cos it hurts so much and I was also traumatised like you did! So I suspect it has got to do with their skills..? U might want to visit a 2nd gynae..
