Patient's question:
Early Tang high risk, did non-invasive low risk test, doctor suggested to do ultrasound at 18 weeks to check fetal growth and development. Yesterday I went, the MRI department said my abdomen was very thick and unclear, and it was very hard to press down during the examination. Moreover, the baby was not cooperative the whole time. The ultrasound took the whole afternoon. Last night after going home, I took a bath and pressed on a few places, and my abdomen was very sore. Today I touched it again, and it still hurts. Is there a problem? Will it be interfered with? (Female, 27 years old)Doctor's answer:
Oh, in this case, as long as it's a non-invasive procedure, there's generally no major issue, so there's no need to worry too much. It's recommended to do an ultrasound at around six months for a more thorough check, like a 4D ultrasound. If you choose that, you should book it in advance to avoid any delays.This is the advice for the question "Will the stomach hurt after pressing for an ultrasound?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
