Hi gals,
If you prefer the u/s to the vscan, you will need to go to see your gynae with a full bladder, reason being, in order for your intestines to fall to the sides of your tummy pelvic area for the gynae to be able to find your bub in your uterus.
For those who are wondering, u/s is safe for pregnancy and so are vscans (although vscans feels a little invasive). They are not using radiation like x-rays and each scan is done for only a few minutes. It is important to make sure that the bub is growing in the right place and to check for any other things like cysts, fibroids, etc that may complicate the pregnancy. 6-8weeks, you should see a fetus and heartbeat.
Hi Crosailo
Yea, I also read an article in a magazine a while ago about "phantom" pregnancy whereby someone else, i.e. the hubby experience a growing tummy, MS and mood swings similar to the wife who is pregnant. haha... how loving! Love is sharing!!
