Ultrasound tips?

Question

Last week I had my anatomy scan at 19+5, the baby was so curled up they couldn't get proper measurements of its heart or spine. I know some babies are just stubborn, but do any of you have tips for getting baby to cooperate during my next ultrasound tomorrow? Any ideas would be helpful! Thanks!

Answer

My ultrasound tech just jostles our son into cooperation. :)

Answer

Drink orange juice before the ultrasound. It helped move my little one.

Answer

I know when I drink a small glass of Dr. Pepper or something with caffeine she gets super excited! Orange juice didn't really help for me, but my US tech was really good at poking and moving the baby around.

Answer

Thanks for all the tips everyone. Nothing I tried worked, but the tech worked around baby and got what she needed!

Answer

Drink soda or juice 30 mins before.... It wakes them up and gets them moving

Answer

Ice water worked for me!

Answer

I've heard the orange juice thing too!

Answer

I know every time I drink oj, he gets a little more excited and moves around and kicks. Idk if that would work for everyone though.
