2nd Trimester

Big U/S Question

My big U/S is next Weds and I'm paranoid that the baby will be uncooperative and we won't get the money shot. In fact, my mom keeps saying that my Nana will be pulling some strings in heaven to guarantee that the baby's legs will be crossed.  Apparently she didn't like when people knew the sex before birth.

In any case, how many people had an uncooperative baby? Is this fairly common? I really, REALLY want to know the sex, but I don't really want to pay the out of pocket expense for the elective U/S.

Re: Big U/S Question

  • We didn't have a problem.  I drank two sodas before the u/s, and he was dancin' all over the place!  No chance for him to keep his legs crossed.  Big Smile

    Good luck!

  • My first was pretty uncooperative.  But, the tech was really nice and let me take a break, go get some OJ and something to eat and move around a bit and come back in after she took someone else.  That ended up working and we were able to find out.

    With this one she was pretty cooperative, I had to turn on my side and that seemed to do the trick. 

    GL!  I know what it's like to want to know that badly.  I hope the baby makes it easy to find out.

  • My little man was ready for all the world to see his goods, so we had no problems.  In fact at my 12 week scan he was moving around so much they had a hard time getting his measurements.  He was really active at my 19 week scan too.  I feel him moving all the time, so that is no surprise.  If you are worried have a coke or pepsi about 1/2 hour before your appt.  The caffiene should get your little one on the move.

  • We didn't want to know the sex...the baby was pretty calm through out the US and the tech was smooching the wand all over my belly so I'm sure if she needed to find the the sex she could've even though the baby was in a weird "praying" position.
