Cramping after NT scan

Ellis31

Has anyone experienced cramping after their abdominal us? I had a great appt today, tech said everything looked great, but now 7 hours later I'm having cramping. Just trying not to freak out...

I didn't but I have heard if they had to use quite a bit of pressure that it can cause cramping.  It also could be completely unrelated and just pains from stretching and growing.

I had some cramping. Id have some water and put your feet up. It is normal since all the pressure they put on us down there.

I didn't cramp-but the prior posted was right-they do apply a lot of pressure and that could cause it.  Or it could be just stetching pains.

I seem to have very mild cramps everyday due to stretching and growing - but I didn't notice anything more than normal after my abdominal u/s yesterday.
