First u/s scheduled- a few questions

Kpan123

I just scheduled my 1st u/s which will be done at 7 weeks and 1 day. I go back to see my OB at 8 weeks and she asked to have one done the week before the visit. Is the first u/s a normal one or is it transvaginal?

Did anyone's H come to the 1st u/s. Mine would like to, but if its transvaginal I am thinking that would be awkward.

Thanks!

Mine was a transvaginal because my doctor said that early it's the most reliable. I heard the heartbeat at 6 weeks with my first. Sometimes they will try a regular u/s first. My husband also is fairly squimish and doesn't like doctor's office or&nbsp
