can you miscarry from a vaginal ultrasound

edited June 2011 in Pregnant
OK I think I already know the answer but I wanna hear what y'all think. My cousin told me she was a month pregnant she went to the emergency (she didn't tell me why) and they gave her a ultrasound She seen the baby's heartbeat n everything was fine then the next day she had bleeding for a week and thinks she miscarried from the ultrasound.

When I was first pregnant I didn't see a heart beat till I was like 8 weeks. I'm really confused about her situation and I think she is too lol

  • I don't think so, cuz it'd be like miscarrying from sex, except the u/s was prally waaaaay more gentle-er. But bc miscarriages are so common during the first few weeks, I had to go into the er and they did a pelvic exam, and they were like, just so u know, this doesn't cause miscarriages, so if you end up havikng one, its not our fault. Well I didn't have one, but still.
  • Lol @praying4our3rd took the words outta my mouth!
  • Umm I'm not sure but I don't think so...I think the Dr would have to be really trying. I mean when I had mine it was definitely painful, I think she was being reality rough but even then... Didn't do any damage.
  • No thats not possible.

  • I don't think u can miscarry from it either she said the hospital made her sign a paper saying It was OK for the ultrasound she said she went to the doctor and he didn't confirm It he's making her come back next week. She said He listened to the heartbeat n didn't head none. But I had to wait till 13 weeks to head it from the outside
  • @mama0811 yeah 4 weeks.
  • Not unless they did something drastically wrong! And I don't know if even that's possible. Definitely a little iffy that she saw the heartbeat... or anything at 4 weeks pregnant.
  • @praying4our3rd I Just asked her she said she went to see how far along she was.
  • I didn't think er's did that. I know there are places that do for free-strictly for confirmation-i went to one and had a vaginal done and was 6/6 and was able to see the heartbeat and get a picture for the fridge :)
  • No you can't. Ive had two vaginal u/s. I haven't any bleeding what so ever. I don't see how it would make you miscarry.
  • @praying4our3rd she said she lied and told then she had bleeding but she really just went to see how far She was
  • Yea I deff think she's lying. She said she went to the e.r 4 times but don't have insurance

  • I bled after my us but only because my cervix was already irritated. But it didn't cause a miscarriage.
