Sore lower abdomen after ultrasound

Karenin · July 2015

i had my 12 week ultrasound yesterday and the tech was pressing realllly hard- it was a bit uncomfortable during and today I'm sore there. This is my third pregnancy and I've never had this happen and while i feel fine, my anxiety prone mind is worrying a bit. Anyone else have a similar experience so I can stop obsessing that baby was somehow hurt even though I completely trust people at my OB office?

Your baby wasn't hurt. I was pretty crampy after my last u/s too.

Normal just take it easy

I think I know what you're talking about, for like a day after my midwife pushes in with the Doppler (she did it for a while so we could record the HB for DH who couldn't make the appt) and the same thing after I had my NT scan, I definitely felt some soreness and even some crampiness. I didn't bleed and it didn't feel "uh oh" severe so I just waited it out, drank a lot of water, and felt fine the next day. Maybe call the office and see if Tylenol would be a good idea to give you some relief?

Thanks ladies this eases my mind!

Haha I worried the same thing (although no pain after) so when she was done I asked if she could lightly check the baby's heartbeat just one more time! My husband said that was just me being crazy like usual.

After my NT scan which took over and hour and a lot of pressure I was sore for a few days. All is fine though and oven heard baby's HB since then.

I wouldn't worry about it. I hear it's normal, though never experienced it from an ultrasound. I've had a version before ( where the doctor man handles your breached baby/belly and shoves them into a different place) and even that didn't hurt the baby!
