Abdominal CVS - pain?

Maggie
I.had an abdominal CVS test two days ago. I had a vaginal CVS w my first pregnancy, which resulted in a chromosomal abnormality so the doctors recommended a CVS to confirm all is ok w this one (fingers crossed!). 
The abdominal was definitely more painful than the vaginal and I still have some tenderness at the site where the needle was injected. It is fairly sore. Has anyone had this experience?  It seems normal given a large needle was inserted but wondering if others have had similar experiences.
