"Ultrasound scan"

Attended for 12 week scan. Sonographer was unfriendly and made the atmosphere awkward and tense. No attempts at small talk , not very reassuring during the scan so we just sat in awkward silence. The whole experience just felt very uncomfortable, the first thing my partner said when we left the room was how strange the whole thing was. Previous scans we’ve had have been comfortable, but the whole time the probe was on she was pressing down really firmly so they whole scan was painful, and afterwards my stomach was red and marked from it. Luckily all was well with baby but I can’t imagine if we had had a previous loss or got bad news at the scan and she was the one that was there. The experience has made us dread the 20 week scan incase we get the same sonographer.
