Are there different sized tools for transvaginal ultrasound?Female, Canada, 27.I think I'm expecting to get a transvaginal ultrasound sound done today, my first ever. Problem is that although I'm an adult, my body has stunted growth and I also barely have any experience putting something in there. I've only put something in there long ago that's really small and the last was like 2 days ago when I had my pap exam. She used the pediatric sized tool and even that was on the painful side. So I'm really nervous about the upcoming one because I'm worried it will damage me if they don't see where to stop at. Will they be able to see where to stop the end of it and do they've different sized ones?

The probes used for transvaginal ultrasound aren't that big, and are smaller diameter than a pediatric speculum like you would have had used for the Pap smear. Another thing you can do if you're comfortable with it is ask to insert the probe yourself, since it's more comfortable for many people.
NAD, but came here to say my child had Laryngomalacia as an infant. He was a squeaky breather but ceased showing signs at 18 months. I hope you get answers soon, OP.
Do not take your baby to a chiropractor. Chiropractors are not medical professionals, and they are especially not pediatric professionals. They are at best harmless and at worst lethal.I am not a pediatrician, I have no idea how reliable or useful Owlet monitoring is (I suspect not very), and that minimal video doesn't sound concerning to mebut I can barely hear and I am again not a pediatrician.This is something to discuss with your baby's pediatrician. If the doctor involved is not concerned, it's probably okay. If you're still very concerned, you could try getting a second opinion from another pediatrician, including bringing all of this information.
