Hi everyone!
I went to my second anatomy scan today. The first time around baby was on its own clock and again todayā¦.so, now Iāve been rebooked for a third. Has this happened to anyone else? Iāve drank juice, ate chocolate, did jumping jacks, walked lolā¦. all I possibly could. Does anyone have any tips to get baby to flip over in the womb for the technician? What worked for you? š
Thanks in advance! š

You could try acupuncture? My office treated a lot of mommyās that needed help to get their babyās to move. Itās 1-2 treatments a week and the heat from a moxa stick helps stimulate the baby to move.

This happened to me, the third time I was referred to fetal medicine, the lady adjusted the bed back so I was tilted and told me to wiggle my hips and that finally done the trick, it was nothing to worry about it was just because she was in an awkward position and they couldnāt get pictures of her brain, I was sent on 2 walks around the hospital, eat snacks and fizzy all the same as youš x

thank you, Martha - Iāll give it a try hehe š„°

thatās so funny š Iāll try that hip wiggle trick! Thanks Lauren :)

Hehe.. chocolate always works for me. He kicks and jumps when I have a piece.
But my baby doesn't like to be told what to do. When he had his little hand in a fist the nurse tried to make him to open it, shook and wiggled my belly. So he decided to turn his back to us. š¤£š¤£ Cheeky...

Hi lol we have the same name what a coincidence

theyāre so cheeky! Youāre so lucky chocolate worked for you, Karolina! I had a whole bar of Kit Kat and ate some Lindt chocolatesā¦but, baby said, ānopeā. š¤£

This happened at my 12 week appt. She was doing a headstand! I walked, ate, drank and didnāt work. Eventually the tech had me turn on my side and move my stomach to encourage her to get into position and it worked! 2.5 hr appt but I didnāt have to reschedule š¤š¾ hope this helps !

I am going for my second one because she was down so low and they couldnāt see part of the heart and a few other things. I drank orange juice like two hours before, which was a mistake bc she wouldnāt stop moving and they couldnāt get the pictures š Iām hoping I wonāt have to go back for a third! But on the other hand, you get to see baby again!

A different time of the day might help. Is there a time when your baby is usually more active?
Also eating a bit of candy right before might help.
