Stubborn baby!😅

At my 12 week scan the midwife was really shocked at how stubborn my baby was with rolling over. We tried absolutely everything! Yesterday we had a private scan at 16 weeks and he was even more stubborn and wouldn’t roll over even after fizzy drinks, squats, jumping and everything else. In the picture it looks like he’s elbowing the camera away!😅 Anyone else had a stubborn baby at scans and how did you manage to get them to roll over? Would love to see more than his back and bum at the next scan😂

My 2nd he decided that bum in the air was comfy most of my pregnancy

last year

My son is doing the same thing!! Imn20 weeks and 4 days today it took an hr and 20 when it should have been 45 minutes at my anatomy scan haha

last year

I literally got to the scan and he was the same. They sent me to the bathroom to wee and move. I jumped and wiggled and everything. When I got back was perfect.

last year

All my girl did was hide her face and rub her eyes or something. Just got lucky in the 21 weeks scan and thats the single picture I have of her until I really hold her in my arms😄😍

last year

Mine only wanted to show her bum or tummy, the first scan eventually we got a little wave but that was after almost every trick possible. Im sure they know when we want them to help is and behave for the scan

Definitely was my case but got lucky when I did a “private sonogram”. Baby did that every doctors visit then one week or maybe two I felt her sideways next doctor visit she was head down in the position needed for birth. Babies have plenty of room to move around but guess there’s a few that prefer that position.

Both my kids were really really hard to scan. I had to reschedule an ultrasound with my first, because they just couldn't get a good enough look at her.

Orange juice 30 minutes to an hour before your scans. My baby was stubborn too. I tried orange juice and it helped x

Dude same thing happened to me for the NT scan LOL, and today I went in for gender and she was trying to get a profile picture and he/she would not budge… so I had to jump around, than he/ she stuck their tongue out at us once he/she complied 💀💀

2 years ago

Mines has been exact same for every scan too hes a bugger 😅 xxx

2 years ago

Took us 3 appointments to do all our anatomy checks at 20 weeks 😂 we left her sex a surprise until birth and I was so convinced because of her stubbornness she had to be a boy so through my whole pregnancy I kept saying “he” when talking about our little one so man oh man I was shocked when they showed me a little girl had popped out 😂

My daughter tried to be born 3 months early. Doctors stopped my labor but expected me back soon to deliver. Was told not many preterm labors that are stopped go full term. Well my daughter was the exception. Not only did I make it full term but she was almost 2 weeks late. I had to be induced because she decided that since we wouldn't let her come when she wanted then she was gonna stay put

2 years ago

Yes! My baby is super active, doing somersaults and backflips during every scan. Most of our pics are of her back. I guess she’s camera shy just like her mama. 😆

2 years ago

Oh my little . When we want to see the gender aswell my gosh how shy he is 😂 showing his bum bum to the nurse thats doing the scanner and like showing his sexy back . Its a lady nurse thats why his shy 😂

Casey hahah such cutie pie!!

2 years ago

Mine was the same! 😅 We arrived for the ultrasound at 9am and left almost 2pm! My Baby was always showing his back. The doctor asked me to leave and walk 3 times! I ate chocolates and jiggled. It was very hard to get a profile image. Finally on the 4th attempt she was able to get a profile image for about 30 seconds and the baby went on his back again! Very stubborn!

2 years ago

My daughter wouldn't move for anything but my pregnancy now my baby won't stop 😂

2 years ago

Mine refused to turn for the anatomy scan so had to go back a week later and she was being stubborn then too but for different body parts. At the end she didn't want to turn to show her spine for the growth ultrasound. She also decided to grace us 9 days late

2 years ago

Mine crossed her legs on the gender scan and hid her face on the anomaly scan😂

2 years ago

I had no problems with getting the pictures. But my daughter kicked a few nurses.

2 years ago

I found drinking hot chocolate helped with scans x

2 years ago

Haha I had this the whole way through to the point we couldn’t tell the gender for soo long. I used to eat a cinnamon donut and go for a walk to get her to move around but it didn’t really work!

Ohhh noo😂😫 I think fizzy drinks, a little wiggle in the chair and a patient ultrasound tech was what worked for us. However, he’s still stubborn and now refusing to come out of me!!😆

Ice cold water helps :) but drink 5min before you lie down

I had to go back twice for my 12 week scan and both times it took at least 45 mins as Bub just wouldn’t shift. Or would, and then go straight back to showing us it’s bottom 🤣 nightmare! But they got the images eventually. Got my 20 week next week so we’ll see whether it’s the same story x

3 years ago

Yup!! I’ve had to do 3 extra ultrasounds 😂 they say baby is going to really love tummy time ❤️

3 years ago

Mine was super stubborn lol

3 years ago

we had this too at our 20 week scan and my scanner lady was jiggling my tummy and tapping in certain places to get him out of my hip area where he likes to tuck away! they can be stubborn little buggers before they’re even here yet! 😂 x

3 years ago

It took us 45 minutes because she would not stay still. The ultrasound tech would have to jiggle the camera on my belly and sometimes it would work others it wouldn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol I have my next one on Monday, they do mine every 4 weeks because I’m high risk.

3 years ago

I had a stubborn baby. When I had the ultrasound done. He had his hand on his feet. The person that was taking it had to push his hand away from his feet. He would not let her.

My daughter was the same way haha

3 years ago

My son was stubborn at every scan. Either would hide what they needed to see or wouldn't stay still enough. Now he's 3 months old and doesn't stop wiggling until he passes out 😂 Nothing ever worked to get him in the right position except hoping for the best, but it does get easier the further along you get, they have less room to hide.

Update on my side we went back today to try a second time to get the shots we needed. I chugged some sugar, ate a piece of cheesecake and jumped around. We managed to get all the shots but one - little guy kept trying to eat his foot 👣 during the session. Since they couldn't get that last shot I now need to have an ultrasound at the hospital next week. The doctors said not to worry and I'm low risk but that momma worry is creeping up on me.

3 years ago

Mine is like that, he hates being messed with even now and I’m being induced tomorrow. He even kicks the midwives when their feeling my tummy. It’ll get easier though the further you get along

3 years ago

I did! The ultrasound tec jiggled my belly I talked and my fiancé talked. Sometimes it worked and others it didn’t 🤷🏼‍♀️

3 years ago

I had my early gender scan today and I was told to do star jumps because my baby boy is stubborn too! My partner recorded me too🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😂

3 years ago

Yup literally every ultrasound with my son! The only thing he would show was his boy parts! Lol 😆

3 years ago

All my scans have been like this baby facing backwards and no intentions of turning around and legs crossed each of my last 2 scans. I have a private at home scan next week to hopefully find out gender hopefully baby cooperates 🥴😂🙄

3 years ago

Reminds me of my little lad he wasnt playing ball every scan. When we found out his gender it took a while as he decided to cross his legs, then in the different he wouldnt let them measure his head and legs. Proper little wriggle bum.

I had exactly the same thing at my 12 week and then we did a private one at 17 weeks and she would not co operate! Had my 20 weeks scan 2 weeks ago and had to go back today so they could get measurements for her brain. I had a chocolate bar and some lucozade just before which seemed to do the trick and they managed to get what they needed just before she flipped over and wouldn’t move! So stubborn 😂 x

They’re cheeky little things already!😂 a lot of people seem to be saying fizzy drinks and chocolate helped. I did try a fizzy drink and sweets maybe I didn’t wait long enough. How long before did you have them?🤔 x

3 years ago

The lady at my private scan and then at my 20 week both said fizzy and chocolate which definitely seemed to work! I literally was eating and drinking on my way to the hospital 😂 x

3 years ago

Literally me at 19 weeks ultrasound. This bum was face planted and wouldn't shift for anyone lol

3 years ago

This happened to me at both of my scans they even had me jogging up and down the corridor 😂 in the end they had to have me on my side with the bed having me head down as far as it will go to try reangle every thing

😂😂😂 I love it!! She’s got a little personality already. It’s probably all of our payback for being hard on our parents 😳 I was amazed that they could find ours gender because he was so stubborn but oh no when we watched the gender reveal video he was all for showing that. Nothing else 😒🤣

Mine was at my 12 week scan. I ended up bending knees up on bed then thrusting pelvis up and down. It did the trick 2nd time around haha! So stubborn though x

We had two 20 weeks scans because of this and both times had to give up in the end, nothing would make little one move, was disappointing for my husband as it was the only scan he was allowed in to but not much you can do unfortunately xx

Ahhh it is so disappointing isn’t it! We booked the private scan because our hospital still haven’t confirmed if he can attend the 20 week scan and he was having a hard time connecting. Still magical but not what he expected 😅 xx

My baby was so stubborn at our 20 week scan! What’s usually an hour appointment max, took us three hours 😅
