Cramping after NT scan?

We had our NT scan this morning and the technician seemed to press pretty hard at times. When baby wasn't quite cooperating she would jiggle the wand while pressing down in an attempt to get baby to switch positions. She said that was perfectly fine and wasn't harmful but I can't help but be slightly worried anyway. I'm having light cramping this afternoon but thinking it could just be muscle pain from her pressing.

 Anyone else have a tech that used a lot of pressure? Any cramping after?

 Thanks!

  • I agree with scout- perfectly normal :)

    I have had quite a bit of cramping but as long as it isn't accompanied by spotting/bleeding, I wouldn't worry :)

  • I had bad cramping from my anatomy scan it lasted over an hour and they also had to get my daughter to move by jiggling my belly so they could see between her legs. I am very sensitive in my abdomen as it is so it was pretty uncomfortable afterwards. I took a Tylenol and I felt better... It's normal...
