You deserve that reassurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2603017 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 05:21:57 +0000 sunnyday 2603017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all for responses, super helpful and some good reassurance.</p> <p>@Mrsbells: I may just call today and say what happened and that I am a little nervous/anxious about the change, and if when results come in if I could have 30 seconds of doctors time just to say "everything looks good" that would be super helpful. We'll see, I feel like a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2603012 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 04:44:59 +0000 Pumuckl 2603012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had multiple transvaginal u/s with my second to measure cervix length. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2603011 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 04:06:06 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2603011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunnyday: For my 2013 baby they didn't do one. For my 2016 baby my doctor told me the new recommendation is to do them on everyone and I had one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2603003 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 02:45:32 +0000 lamariniere 2603003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my second, I had a transvag at the anatomy scan because the tech couldn't find something through the abdominal scan due to the baby's position. I don't remember what she was trying to see, but everything was just fine in the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602955 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 22:21:01 +0000 LAZB 2602955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had it with all three of mine to check cervical length </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602933 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 21:03:08 +0000 jhd 2602933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor also does this standard. Our moms were at the anatomy scan so they just left for that part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602927 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 20:58:49 +0000 gilmoregirl 2602927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor does this standard at the anatomy scan - it was standard three years ago when I was pregnant with my son too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602880 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 20:09:26 +0000 Mrsbells 2602880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunnyday: i hope you hear something back soon. Suspense is the worst thing. Can you call your doctor and see if they can follow up faster? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602852 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 19:45:51 +0000 bloved 2602852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not have one with my so three years ago, but did with my three month old. Like another poster said, apparently it is now standard practice to offer; they told me it was recommended, but optional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602807 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 18:37:18 +0000 erinbaderin 2602807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one at my anatomy scan with this most recent baby, although not with my first two years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602792 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 18:17:25 +0000 Bernieboo 2602792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a TV at 20 weeks, it's routine for us. The tech said I could decline, but that measuring cervical length on the outside is not considered accurate or good practice anymore. The tv was just to measure cervical length. I didn't decline bc I've had them before and they're really not that bad and if my cervix looked short from the outside, she said they'd have to measure vaginally anyway... Maybe it looked short from the outside and they wanted to double check? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602784 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 18:01:16 +0000 ShootingStar 2602784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB office said this is the new standard. I thought it was overkill though and declined. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602782 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 17:58:54 +0000 kodybear 2602782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both kids I had TV done during the anatomy scan because it was hard for her to measure my cervix abdominally. For my first, my cervix length was normal. For my second, it was low. but I do think it was just normal routine for both </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602781 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 17:48:21 +0000 Alba4 2602781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a complete placenta previa (that moved by 36 weeks) therefore I had a TV ultrasound every couple of weeks during my second pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602774 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 17:33:37 +0000 GreenThumb 2602774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my anatomy scan last week and yes, she had to do a TV because I apparently have placenta previa (which I also had with my first dd). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602772 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 17:30:43 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2602772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have this done, but was forewarned that it may happen if they needed to check where your placenta is for placenta previa. So I would assume it's for that or just checking your cervix length/thickness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/internaltransvaginal-ultrasound-at-anatomy-scan#post-2602770 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 17:27:02 +0000 sunnyday 2602770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anatomy scan today, my normal clinic cancelled with a sick tech so I got in at another local option. Tech told me nothing, not "everything looks good", "growth look on track", "baby looks good, but I saw something your doctor will discuss with you". Told me mid ultrasound she needed to do a transvaginal ultrasound to check my cervix. This is my third baby and definitely never had a transvaginal beyond 10w along.</p> <p>I realize if it's bad, my doc will call soon, just wanted to check in here to see if anyone has any experience and what came of it. </p>
