Yoga. It makes the baby move as you move

Sometimes if you roll on your side when they do scans, baby will move to different positions

Eat something sugary

Haha I literally had my scan yesterday and my baby was doing this and it took 40 mins for us to be able to determine the sex! I ended up going to eat a chocolate and came back and then laid on my side while the scan was going on and finally were told we’re having a girl! 🥰

Bribe them

@Dray congratulations! 🩷🩷

Start the scan with a full bladder, if that's how they want it. Then go pee. That's how my first decided to stop being proper lol

They told me to jump up and down on the spot before x

Fizzy drink, I drank way too much and poor baby had hiccups through the whole thing 🥹 felt so bad!xx

Luckily you have a proper baby. Mine let's himself hangout for ever scan...im only 36 weeks pregnant and he has no care in the world at all 🤣

Blood test!

@Erika sorry but what do you mean by bribing the baby to uncross their legs. I'm confused 🤣

🤷🏽♀️ Bribe them. Plead. Beg.

Probably won’t work but worth a shot

Chocolate bar… Mars!! Always worked for me lol x

Fizzy didn’t work for me, but the minute I had pure orange juice or apple juice, we had loads of movement. Think the emphasis is on the sugar element as some have said! Exciting though, let us know!

Drink something sugary before you go! Also my tech had me lay on my side and that’s when she got a clear view!

I had to do a wiggle on the bed to get him to move his arms so the sonographer could see his lip. Worked lol! He was such a wriggle bum though. Started off laying sideways, head towards the sonographer and feet to my partner, and ended up head down and bum up just as she wanted to take some pictures for us, would not move so we got the creepiest pictures haha! All skulls and eyeballs.

The ultrasound tech recommended that I should drink some juices (orange juice or any juices) 10mins before the scan, and a full bladder to get more movements out of the baby. Our boy was just sleeping the whole time during our 12 weeks scan and refused to budge 🤣

she's talking about a baby scan?

I understand she’s talking about a baby scan. It’s a joke.
