1st Trimester

Active baby

Just had my 12 week scan and baby was so active the lady doing ultrasound couldn't get the measurements, she sent me away and told me to come back Tuesday! Has anyone else been in the same situation? And did people get measurements second time around? Thanks for replies X

Re: Active baby

  • I did with DD at 18 weeks. We couldn't see what sex she was bc she was break dancing. Did you drink or eat caffeine or lots of sugar beforehand? The doctor told me to stay away from any of those before a scan for that very reason.

    I am 12 weeks I had my first ultrasound last week. (So exciting!) My little one was really very active to matter a fact our tech asked me if I had drank coffee or any caffeine that morning and I said no mam. She said Sometimes there just really active.
  • This happened to me on Friday. I am 10 weeks and little lovebug was so active the doctor couldn't get good shots for measurement. We gave up because I had an ultrasound the week before that and the doctor got good measurements then. I guess sometimes baby just is having a good old time in there! Lol
  • My baby isn't so active as much as she hates the noise from dopplers and ultrasounds. Trying to find her heartbeat takes a few minutes as she just keeps dancing away. Some babies are just like that though. Makes my OB laugh-she's being difficult already!

  • Ours was doing gymnastics at our 12 week scan, but everything looked really good at 7.5 weeks so they didnt worry. Just had A/S last week and nearly didnt get gender or lower spinal measurements as baby was holding her legs over her head with her hands most of the time! Some babies are just ninjas. Ive noticed that when i have been really busy she gets really active when i rest, but on days where i am relaxed and quiet i dont get as much movement, so maybe try and rest the day of your scan? No science behind this at all but i have noticed that pattern with my LO
  • we just had this happen too! super active little bean in there! That is going to be a whole world of fun in a few weeks when we can feel kicks!
