Dating scan advice

Pretty unlikely to avoid it at week 7.. I had one done at week 9 , but tt was under subsidised route, so I'm not sure if it's the norm. It's not painful, you'll just feel pressure when the doc presses the wand to scan the fetus. If it really scares u, you can call in to enquire first at which week they're do an abdominal ultrasound instead of a transvaginal one.

I had it when i was pregnant with my first. I cant rmmbr if it was painful but It was traumatic and i skipped it for my 2nd, 3rd and 4th. For my 2nd i think i waited till 9 or 10 weeks if i’m not wrong. My 4th i waited till 11 weeks to polyclinic to get referral and got my first appt at KKH at 12 weeks 6 days.

For my first, I only went at 10 weeks as it was during the COVID period and I also did not want to risk doing a transvaginal. But for my 2nd and 3rd, I went at abt 8+ weeks and babies were alr visible in ultrasound and could hear the heartbeats clearly.

Unfortunately, I didn’t managed to avoid at my first gynae check up 😔 it wasn’t pain but just discomfort. You will get distracted when you see your baby and get to listen to their heartbeat 💗
