12 week scan - painful!

Anybody else find it really uncomfortable and painful at times. It’s been a few hours since and I feel a bit uncomfortable still, not sure if that’s normal? Positive note baby is all fine, but I didn’t know how much they dig that thing in to you to see the baby! 😩

Doppler?

Hi!! I was curious who all got a doppler? I am realizing throughout this pregnancy I'm far more paranoid than I already thought it was 😭 Is the doppler reassuring or does it scare you more? :(
