Ladies, tell me, is it dangerous to have a vaginal ultrasound at 5 weeks pregnant? My gynecologist scheduled it to check if it's an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy. The sonographer checked everything quickly and said it was fine, an intrauterine pregnancy. She advised me to come back in a couple of weeks for the heartbeat, but not sooner. During my first pregnancy, my gynecologist only sent me for an ultrasound at 7-8 weeks, when the heartbeat was already visible, and said there was no point in doing it earlier. It's only been two days since the ultrasound. The first evening, I had some lower abdominal pain, and today my breasts and belly feel like they've deflated a bit. I know I might be overthinking things, but I read that it's best not to have ultrasounds while the embryo is still forming.

I've never had an ultrasound that early, nor have they ever done a vaginal exam.

After the missed period, blood tests and ultrasound showed normal results. What else could it be?

The embryo develops throughout the entire pregnancy, and a single short ultrasound can't interfere with or harm this process in any way.

At this stage, they always check vaginally. There's nothing to worry about.

Only vaginally and they look at such terms. Not dangerous but useless until 7 weeks.

Ultrasound scans are not dangerous at any stage of pregnancy.

You didn't get an X-ray of your belly, where there's radiation. Some people even have that and give birth to healthy babies. Ultrasound isn't radiation at all and doesn't affect the embryo in any way.

It's not dangerous. It's better to know, just in case it's ectopic. That's definitely more dangerous.

At this stage, there's no other way to look at it. 'The belly is bloated'... If it was 'distended', it could only be gas; nothing else can cause that at this stage.

It's not dangerous. With my older child and during my fourth pregnancy, I did the same at that stage just to see where the egg was located.
