I had that ultrasound when I was in the hospital. There was no way I could see and the procedure be done at the same time, the monitor was behind my head I think and the technician down by my hip, facing me. It wasn't a hard procedure to have done but I cannot empty my bladder so the technician was angry at me and mumbling all the time about not being able to see, etc. and making me feel bad. Not one of my favorite procedures.
