Anomaly scan pain!

I had my anomaly scan today and baby was snug lying on their belly so the sonographer basically had to push down hard and jiggle my stomach a lot. Baby eventually turned and he managed to do everything he needed to check but now my stomach feels sore like someone has punched me! Worried now hope baby is fine in there🥹

My husband said I was literally hurting his hand as I was squeezing it that hard while he was scanning 😩

My 12 week scan was similar and baby was fine, it’s well protected in there, but I did feel the same, like someone had pounded my stomach! After a day or so I was fine, but I almost cried in my scan because the pressure was so horrible!

@Gemma im so sorry you felt like this and likewise I was on the brink of tears. It was honestly so painful. I'm lying down now from the soreness!

I had this with my private scan i was in sooo much pain after was unreal@

Had the same experience with my 12 week scan, it was a male sonographer so think he was just a bit heavy handed but it did scare me as i had a previous loss last year and had stomach bruising which i believe was caused by a scan so it terrifies me I do always ask them to scan as lightly as they can now before they start the scan

Naaaaah guys the worst one is having a full bladder for your 12 week scan, I was CRYING!!!
