In pain after ultrasound. Vent/question

Went to get an ultrasound Friday at the specialst office and the tech pressed so hard I have bruises on my stomach and it hurts like hell. I am a ftm and damn I was happy to see my little one but my stomach still hurts. Has anyone else had this happen?

I am at 28 weeks. So the baby isn't so tiny the tech said she is against my back. They needed to check things at least I know the pain is normal thanks ladies. Just hope the bruises go away before I take my belly pics.

In the beginning my doctor would press down hard but now at 30 weeks she doesn't I think the press down hard at the beginning cuz the baby is so tiny but u never got a bruise or sore from it it was just uncomfortable at the moment

Sometimes they push and it's uncomfortable but that sounds a little excessive. My stenographer is always asking if it's too much. Maybe you can request a different stenographer I requested to not have the same one I had at 20 weeks and the office happily obliged
