Q: Sonogram Supposed to Hurt???

I recently had a sonogram and it hurt in certian spots on my belly when she passed the sonogram thing over my stomach. She also seemed to be pressing it down really hard, was she being unprofesional? Is it supposed to hurt? While she was doing that and I was lying flat I felt very faint and about to throw up, but then she raised the top of the table so my top half was elevated and I felt better, but my stomach still hurt when she passed the sonogram thing over me. Some spots on my belly feel swollen and hurt sometimes. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ive never felt pain just stinging shocks. Its ok for the doc to push down on the belly so that doc could get better look at baby. As for the feeling like thowing up I habent had that. Of chorse ur belly is gonna be sore its getting use to caring a baby. How far are u?

I have felt that way. They told me that they had to push hard to see what they needed to. It was because they where having a difficult time seeing and it was causing a shadow so they had to press harder... So you arent the only one...........

With my last baby I had to to have a sono b/c they couldn't get all the info they needed with the first sono. It hurt so bad b/c they were still having a hard time seeing everything.
