went for my date scan - sac there no baby in Baby's Growth & Development | Forum | Huggies
In early pregnancy, especially before 11 weeks, it is usual to have a trans-vaginal internal scan , where a probe is placed in the vagina. This gives the clearest and most accurate picture in early pregnancy. The person doing the scan spreads a special gel on your lower abdomen below your belly button and above the line of pubic hair. He or she then moves the scanner over the gel, sometimes pressing down, until the uterus womb and pregnancy can be seen.

Back to Your pregnancy and baby guide. Ultrasound scans use sound waves to build a picture of the baby in the womb. The scans are painless, have no known side effects on mothers or babies, and can be carried out at any stage of pregnancy. Talk to your midwife, GP or obstetrician about any concerns you have.
