Ultrasound walk through- can anyone help?

Hiya, new to this and bit random, but I have been called for an external pelvic ultrasound. Can anyone very kindly walk me through what will happen from when I arrive at the hospita/how long it will last/whether i need to wear certain clothes etc l? Very anxious and have white coat syndrome for any visit to Dr's let alone a hospital.

  • You maybe asked to change into a gown, or sometimes they let you keep you own clothes, so if you wore something like legings and a top, they might be able to lift your top and roll down your leggings a bit. A gel is applied to your abdomen, then something that looks like a supermarket hand held scanner is gently moved across your abdomen, you will be able to see what it see's on a screena and the radiographer will be able to tell you what you're seeing.

    I've had several, mostly when pregnant, they don't hurt and are one of the more comfortable tests they do as theres next to no poking about.

    At least this is my experience of them
