Internal examination to confirm a pg?

I think it would have been better to place this Q in the pregnancy sub section of 'Family' but it's too late now ;o)

As I said before, my mum mentioned having internal examinations almost 40 years ago when she was having me, and 30 years ago when she was having my sister. In those days scans were either non existent or in the early days of technology.

My brother is 26 and she didn't have an internal examination whilst pregnant with him. It simply isn't needed nowadays.

Isn't it odd that Doc and Dot have a go at this poster for using abbreviations but both have abbreviated names.
Given the context of the question pg was easy to work out, I'd have thought.

To answer the question, I never had one during my pregnancy and have never heard of it to confirm a pregnancy. Don't know if the girls lying but she sounds pretty messed up. Whether she is or isn't pregnant should become clear over the next few months.

my son is 2 years old and amongst the group of mums on my mums club the only internal i heard of in early pregnancy was when it was an early scan.

and just to add, on my pregnancy and mums website we have always used 'pg' to say pregnant or pregnancy.

Try to google pregnancy symptoms and see what you come up with, there are loads that are a dead give away.....or maybe she has a phantom pregnancey, it's not unheard of.

3R - Firstly I have never heard of this method being used so early on in a pregnancy, but then I am not a doc! (That's right, I abbreviated it) ;o)

I have heard that false negatives on pregnancy tests are very common and you can have a number of them but a false positive is almost impossible!

Secondly - I know what this girl is like from past experiences and she could lie her way out of any situation! It's got a lot to do with 3R as her partner is one of the main carers for his little brother who is the one dating the girl who is lying.

Thirdly - 3R ignore the idiots on here who pick holes for the sake of having something to say! They clearly couldn't put any decent imput into your Q but wanted to be involved in some way or another so decided to go the route of being rude! I have headr PG be used as pregnant before and I have even seen it on this site before so don't worry about it. And even if it hadn't ever been seen before.... It's not that difficult to work out and it's no worse than this lot using Lol, Lmao, Pmsl, Wtf etc!!!!

Love ya Xx

I didn't know what it meant and I didn't understand from the rest of the question either. Just because it's used on a pregnancy website doesn't meant that your average person off the street is instantly going to recognise some new abbreviation. Most of the users on this site are really nice and if you'd perhaps thought about the needs of the audiance you might have realised that your question wasn't very clear before posting. I still haven't read an appology for flying off the handle at somebody for asking clarification about an unitelligible question that you posted. Just because you thought it was pretty clear doesn't mean everyone else did.

vaginal examinations strongly contraindicated in early pregnancy,in the past they were used to diagnose a bulky uterus, ie pregnant state, at onset of labour and during labour vaginal examinations are used to assess the progression of the diletation of the cervix, might this young lady require assistance rather than showing her out to be a liar ?

[sleepy1]

well i had one 15 years ago when i went to the doc . first time ..................... omg i feel dirty now he never needed to do that to me i could sue him ....................yuck

[fine,thanks]

hardly sleepy, it was 15 years ago, guess what medicine has moved on since then.

[ummmm]

I just hope in future I don't see a certain poster saying 'lol'

Bloody lazy that is....!!!!

I had an eternal with my first baby but not the other two. With my first 'pg' I still had the doctor I had had since I was little. So I think it can come down to who the doctor is, his age and how he does things etc.....or she

[Skreecheeboy]

Which one out of eternal was it ummm? My favourite was Louise.

[fine,thanks]

excellent, well spotted

[Rubyrose]

Skreech, I understood it loud and clear and I have seen it on this site before many times. I have also seen dappy abbreviations on here that aren't so easy to work out but with a little imagination we manage! I think Dot was out of order and 3R doesn't need to apologise to anyone. We all know what Dotty can be like and she was purposely being difficult! I don't expect to see any abbreviations from her in future because I may not be able to understand it!

I had eight pregnancy tests to confirm I was pregnant, all the home ones said I was and all the doctors ones said I wasn't I too went and had an internal to confirm I was pregnant and a follow up scan. So she may well be. Also I had a D&C to clean me out after going back on the depo too soon after having a baby and not clearing out properly. I fell pregnant within days of the D&C and the doctor said it was because it was a perfect environment. Sounds like she could be telling the truth, why would she make it up anyway?

[Rubyrose]

Pmorley - This girl is the sort to make it up and has made up many stuff before. She isn't the sort to think that lying about being pregnant is something to be ashamed off!

[ummmm]

If dot sees an opportunity to be sarcastic then she'll jump on it.
