Wife is about to have her 1st pelvic
ultrasound. Do they make you undress?
After the one with the full bladder, do
they most always do a transvaginal?

Some doctors/ultrasound techs, will make
you undress and put on a gown, others will
just have you slide your pants down to
your hips and pull your shirt up. All
depends on the nurse/tech, whichever their
preference. If your wife is
uncomfortable with being undressed, she
should express her concerns to them and im
sure they would do what that had to-to
make her comfortable. As for the
transvaginal ultrasound, she would have to
be undressed from the waist down for
that.
Is your wife pregnant?

No, just the doctor being cautious now
that she's turned 40. Yes they did have
her undress completely, and yes they did
both the transabdominal and the
transvaginal.

She shouldn't have undressed completely.
That seems weird to me. I have had a
transvag. When I was 20 weeks, and it
was like a pap...Undressed from the wasit
down and they gave me a sheet, so I
wouldn't feel so exposed.
There was a radiologist, and a tech.
They were great, and made me feel
comfortable.
They then left the room., let me get
dressed, and came back in for the normal
belly one, which I just pulled my shirt
up.
The transvaginal one was to get a better
look at my cervix, and birth canal. They
were worried I wouldn't be able to deliver
natural, because I am petite... But I
did, and he was almost 10 pounds.
