painful abdominal ultrasound??

Yesterday I had my first abdominal ultrasound at 13 wks 1 day and it was somewhat painful.  They literally had to push up against my pelvic area/ lower abdomen to get the proper images necessary for the testing. I felt like they were too rough but I was reassured baby was still deep within. I literally was sore after. Anyone else experience this?

Yeah this is common ....especially if you have any amount of belly fat. You get used to it....somewhat. :(

Mine was painful I had to take a nap after I thought they were rough too  I had to tell them to stop . The baby is fine however but if they hurt you inform them no matter how " whinny" it sounds
