Rough 3d sonogram lady

rosebby7

i had a 3d today and baby girl didn't wanna show her face, and the lady kept poking around and wiggling my belly like crazy! My baby girl just wanted to sleep....I'm mad at myself that I let her wiggle her around like that, I feel like a bad mom ! Anyone else have this happen?

Our little girl is stubborn for ultrasounds! When we were at the 3d place for early gender determination back awhile, she just wasn't in the right position. The lady never poked without asking first and very gently after I said it was ok. She had me try walking around or standing on my hands and knees with butt in the air to try and get her to move. I would have said something like please be gentle, etc.

However... This doesn't make you a bad mom!! Babies have a LOT of layers of protection in there, so I'm sure she is just fine!

The lady shook my whole belly to try to get the baby to move. My husband was laughing and asked I guess this is the only acceptable time to shake a baby? They also did it to my friend when she had her 3d ultrasound. Don't worry about it baby is well protected.

It's really standard during ultrasounds. The baby is fine. Although it sounds like poor bedside manners. She should have told you what she was doing and why before she surprised you. ..

Yeah I guess I'm annoyed that she didn't even ash she just started shaking her. And the video I have she is just shaking her:( I know she just wanted to get her little face but she should have at least said is it okay if I try to mover her around a little bit? Idk next time I will say something. Thank you ladies for making me feel better! I know she has lots of fluid and protections, it just she's MY baby

The baby will be fine, they can handle a lot in there and are used to getting moved around. Your own movement, like getting into bed, anytime you've moved up and down for whatever reason, has probably given her similar sensations. But it sounds like watching the video of it is refueling your annoyance with that lady! That would not help! So I understand but don't worry!!

The past two ultrasounds I've had have been similar to this. Your baby is fine.

My nt scan the ultrasound tech was actually hurting me from how hard she was pushing and thumping with the wand thing. I figured she knew how rough she could get but I did finally say ow. Helped when I was feeling early movement though because I didn't feel bad about pushing a little.

I teach ballroom dancing so when I'm dancing (especially swing!) with my students my little one is getting shaken all over the place. My doctor has zero concerns with this so I don't worry about it either. She will be just fine

Your baby was not harmed but it is a good lesson moving forward about speaking up for yourself (and your child) Never forget going forward during any appointment right on through to your labor and delivery that if you don't like what is happening or want to refuse a procedure say so! Pregnancy is not one size fits all and doctors and medical professionals are not perfect. It is your body your baby so do not hesitate in the future to speak up! You are a Mommy now and those natural instincts of protection are there. Do not feel badly about using them!

When I went for my 3D scan she had trouble getting him to move at one point so she got me to get up and walk around.

The moms that run probably jiggle their babies around more than the technicIan did. I wouldn't feel guilty about her being hurt in any way. However, yes the technician could have explained what she was doing or asked you to get up and briskly walk (like she had to ask me!).

I don't want to be the one to disagree but this did happen to me. I have posted here about it in the past. She was very rough, was Jiggling my tummy trying to get the best shot. He did a full flip to Avoid her which she comment in. This was at 28 weeks. He was Stillborn at 32 weeks the cord around his neck and under his arm. It was so tight it ripped at the belly. He never flipped back head down. I have to live with knowing I allowed her to be rough with me and that My son died because I wanted a good profile photo of him. How selfish. Please reconsider such silly things. You will have the rest of your child's Life to look at him or her. Now all I have is a 3d ultrasound and video. I could watch that little heartbeat all day... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ufwGJGwmtl0
