First scan

I had my dating scan today and i am 13+1. The sonographer really was pushing at my stomach because the baby was upside down with head at the front and then went into a ball when she was trying to take measurements. Ever since iv had quite a sore stomach and constantly feel like i need the toilet? Is this normal because of the prodding and will pass hopefully by tomorrow or so?

As an aside, iv got a minor case of piles. They are quite small but particularly when i go for a walk it it quite uncomfortable. Any tips? Iv got various pile creams but nothing is eradicating the discomfort.

I remember feeling sore after my dating scan, it soon went.

With the piles, the only thing that has ever worked for me is the germaloid suppositories. Also, I make sure to drink 2-3 litres of water a day which really helps making it easier going to the toilet.

Hope this helps! X
