Scan

My baby wouldn’t stop moving at the scan so they couldn’t do all the checks! 😆

@Hannah haha! My baby likes to turn his back towards us. 😂 I have to go back for a re scan on Monday. X

On my 12 week scan he was so still. Can of coke wouldn’t work or anything. The only thing that worked was freezing cold bottle of water which did the trick 🤣

Oh and make sure you drink plenty before hand coz I was there ages as my bladder was empty and at 12 weeks it’s a bit of a struggle to see around baby is what I was told x

My baby girl moved so much it took three attempts. I realised I drank some iced tea before which could have been the reason ( I don't usually drink caffiene which may have been a factor)

I was told to drink a Costa hot chocolate!

I’m really torn between having some sweets before hand or whether that will make it too wriggly.

@Gail rlly depends on ur baby tbh. Of u think ur baby in the past has moved enough without the sugar then you may not need it but if u have a baby who likes to sleep thru ur scans and not co-operate that tiny sugar rush might just get em feeling a bit more lively for the scan😂

@Gail a sonographer wrote on here once that you really shouldn’t from the offset because they need to be able to do all the checks and if the baby is constantly moving around, then it makes it much harder and they sometimes have to reschedule the scan. Maybe take something with you if you do need to get the baby moving. It only takes a few minutes for it to kick in and you can always ask the sonographer as well. I’m just going off what I read though, I don’t actually have any professional experience myself haha
