Yesterday I went for my dating scan (13 weeks) and the sonographer insisted on doing an internal scan as well. I have been worried ever since as she did not put a condom or anything on the probe - just some ultrasound gel, so I thought that they must clean it after each patient, but then at the end, she just wiped it with some more gel and put it back in its holder. Is this normal procedure?
